Allen Iverson is not here for your #MannequinChallenge. It’s either that or he just has no clue how to participate, despite the challenge dominating social media for close to two weeks now. A.I. was in Philly at the Sixers game last night against the Pacers, a game that saw the Sixers win their first game of the season coincidentally and of course, the challenge was happening in the arena. When the cameras focused on Iverson however, it was hard to tell if he was trying but just didn’t know what to do, or if he just didn’t care. Regardless the outcome was pretty funny. Maybe he should practice but we all know how he feels about that.

I’m still at a loss for words after watching Allen Iverson’s Hall of Fame speech last night. It was the realest talk we’ve heard from an athlete in quite a long time. Sure, A.I. had a speech somewhat prepared but he barely read from it. Instead he spent most of the roughly 30 minutes just speaking from the heart and making everyone in the crowd and folks watching at home get emotional. I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t a supporter of Iverson and didn’t want to see him win and that was on full display last night with the amount of love he was getting.
