Allen Iverson says he didn’t invent the crossover. A Georgetown walk-on who never played a minute taught it to him, and made him a legend instead of himself
Interviewer: “I was surprised to learn that you learned the crossover from a guy from Brooklyn who barely played at Georgetown”
AI: “Look at what that guy gave me”
Interviewer: “But you learned it from another guy. You didn’t make it up”
AI: “He didn’t even have his name on the back. The most important thing for me when I was going to college is I always wanted my name on the back of my jersey. This guy did not have a name on the back. He was a walk-on”
Interviewer: “He didn’t play”
AI: “Didn’t even play. But he had a nasty crossover. He used to hit me with that thing at practice. I put my pride aside, my ego, ‘Hey, come here, man. You gotta show me how to do it.’ And to this day, he still says, ‘Yours is better than mine’”
Not one rapper on earth could have my Twitter timeline this fucked up, Jay got his whole family out there celebrating his legacy and the entire world stopped to watch and comment, for good or bad. Ain’t no rapper on this planet got this level of cultural cache. Fuck your streams nigga, this is real life. This for hip hop. Salute 🫡
JAŸ-Z fires back at his critics in a freestyle at JAŸ-Z30 👀
“I don't listen to twitter activists, they type & I laugh at them, It's really no comparison"
“Ex drug dealer you might not like the packaging, but my presence is a present"
Jay-Z does a mashup of Snoop Dogg’s song “Murder Was the Case” during his performance of “D’Evils,” and then follows it with a performance of “No Church in the Wild” at his “JAY-Z 30” show at Yankee Stadium, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt.
I'm all for people having opinions! I like #Lemon, but was a bit confused by the move & pick. But, I'm open to seeing how #Mannion uses him in the offense! This was clearly #Mannions ask (look at his & Howie's reaction post pick in the #Warroom) We've seen short slot WRs have tremendous success in the @NFL when schemed correctly! What bother me about #TJs comment was the 50/50 thing! #AJBrown is a 50/50 ball WR! He's not a speed guy, exceptional route runner, nor does he create great separation! He's physical, with average speed, and adjusts well to the ball! Almost 75% of his catches in Philly were contested! How does AJ have 4 straight 1K yd seasons, if #Hurts won't give him 50/50 opportunities❓️❓️❓️ #CmonMan
