**(Important this interview was a re-run from 1999)**
Chris Rock:They call you the Answer but in my house your the Answer,The exploiter, the ancle braker...the..the..Now the greatest movie ever made was the one against Michael Jordan..It was incredible because you were incredible in it and it was also incredible to see a man just left there..now what did he say to you after that?
Allen Iverson:Huh..Nothin.I mean..He never looked at me again after that.I mean I love him to death he's a great basketball player,he's somebody I looked up to,I have alot of respect for him but thats my dance floor too,I lace up my sneakers like everyone else in the league so I want my respect just like he want his
(Cheers:from the audience)
Chris Rock:Everybody calls you the bad boy of the NBA and the bad boy of this and that...Do you think you get a bad rap just because you have cornrows?
(Laughs)
Allen Iverson:Its unfair but its true,people look at the way I dress,who I hang around..the jewelry and everthing people try to make me look like I'm 34 yearsold and I'm only 24,I'm growing everyday and I'm trying to get better as a person.
(Cheers)
Chris Rock:you know..Because you led the league in scoring,I see Grant Hill in all types of commercials..I see that you've got this sneaker commercial and I mean you could sell anything..Your breath stinks too..you know,you could do the right guard too.
(LAUGHS)
Chris Rock:You said that they judge you based on who you hang around,Is your possie just ill..I mean I saw them upstairs and I was a little scared..you know we locked up everything while were doing this interview.
(Laughs)
Allen Iverson:Thats appearance man,They been through alot of things in their life..I mean this is HBO so I could curse right?
Chris Rock:Yeah
Allen Iverson:I mean they FUCKED up just like everybody else.They made mistakes but its a growing process..you know..we been poor for 20 years plus and I finally came into some money now so I wanna live a little bit too now.
(Laughs and Cheers)
Chris Rock h you livin baby,you livin..look at the ice on you..I need a scarf.Okay now you got criticized for leaving school early..do you think people just need to mind their business?
Allen Iverson efinately.I mean my sister was suffering from seizures and she needed a personal specialist so you know..I thought about alot of that before I mae my decision and I got tired of coming home and seeing my moms living conditions and being able to go beac and sleep in a nice dorm and eat three times a day and it was ruff watching them go through that.And my coach stuck with me and he could have easily told me to stay here and win him 2 championships but he was real with me from the giddy up..he said go take care of you family and thats the thing I noticed with these young kids..you know..what ever you gotta to take your family..whatevers best for you just do it.
(Cheers)
Chris Rock:You know I think that they pick on the basketball players when they leave school because Tiger Woods ain't going to school and nobody gives a f*** about that..Noboby ain't sayin s*** about tiger cause he hang around with some white people.. no we don't want you to hang out with your boys they gotta be white..
Allen Iverson:I have white friends..I mean my loyers but they still white.

Allen Iverson:But Seriously Though Ihave white friends too you know its real..Igit a lot of white friends.
Chris Rock:Now whats the biggest surprise you've gotten since you've gotten in the NBA.
Allen Iverson:The responce that I've gotten from the kids man.Its unbelievable..sometimes I'll be on my block and I'll see a kid walk by and hell have on my sneaker and I'll watch him until he's outta site man..you know,I used to be a sneaker fanatic and to finally see a kid wearin my sneakers that look up to me..They don't care about what these adults care about..you know what is Allen doin with his possie and blaah blaah..All they care aboutis Allen Iverson,The Allen Iverson they see on Tv..you know they don't care about what these adults care about and thats real with me man.
(Cheers)
Chris Rock:Okay..Okay..The kids just wanna see you fly..fly through the sky.
Okay now...Magic had a bad tv show..and Shaq did a geenie movie..What ere you going to do to embarris yourself?

did ya'll see on there when Chris rock was talking aboout AI's posse and Ai stopped laughing a little cuz he didn't think that was very funny cuz' ya'll know AI is very protective of his crew so I don't think Chris should have said those things about them locking up stuff before they got there!!!!!!!!
