"CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST!" 🏆 Allen Iverson Reacts to LeBron James Joining the 76ers
The NBA landscape has officially shifted! The one and only Allen Iverson joins Stephen A. Smith on Mad Dog Sports Radio to break down the massive news: LeBron James is heading to the Philadelphia 76ers!
What is stacking and chasing rings? It's when you go to a ready-win team. Was Philly winning? No. Was Cleveland winning? No. Was LA winning? No. Is Barkley smart? No.
"The Answer" doesn't hold back, declaring this season "Championship or Bust" for a stacked Sixers roster featuring Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and now King James. Plus, AI responds to Charles Barkley’s comments on the MJ vs. LeBron GOAT debate, explains why he's about to become the "Spike Lee of Philadelphia," and defends his courtside wardrobe against Stephen A.'s hilarious roast.

Steven, this honestly belongs in the GOAT argument too. Think about how insane this is; we're talking about a 41-year-old LeBron James joining Philadelphia not as a farewell tour player, but as a genuine piece to help win a championship. In a sport where genetics, athleticism, and elite talent are everything, that level of longevity is completely unprecedented. It's hard to overstate how crazy that is. The fact that everyone is excited about it makes it crazier.

There's nothing wrong with
AI Dresses............ Why would he wear a suit to a game????
Maybe there's something I don't know and if you feel this way, he should have told him that in private.
Again, maybe I'm missing something!
And this was before AI was signed up to work with The Sixers, that being said.......sure he would wear a suit.

@BigShotKevStephen A. Smith you gotta (pause) that I'ma take you shopping shit 😅😅😅
@jamelcarter768Iverson said what I said LBJ is the best BASKETBALL player MJ is the best player there is a difference
@OaklandRebelsRedORGotta love the way Ai answered the questions without using Ai. You'll always be my GOAT.
@phichi5488Iverson needs to unretire
@Mujali1404Can't wait the see AI in a suit courtside steppin over referees
@alcubierrevjIverson played still when jones came into the Gáme.
Iverson definitely gets a ring as well if James does help them win, and I think it’s fair
AI after Jordan is my favorite player Of all time.
@doncoleman-w4tLol AI is 9 older than Bron,, correct me if am wrong,,,yoh how long my G been retired 😂 😂
I grew up watching LeBron James 😅😅 at grade 6 during The Oprah show is when I learned about him,,he apparently had signed a Nike deal worth 91M,,am from South Africa 🇿🇦 an I had never watched basketball but what we know in Mzansi🇿🇦 yi Netball.. 2years later my mom got us DSTV compact then boom 💥 I finally saw the kid from Akron live on my Flat TV screen 😅😂🎉🎉🎉 today I'm employed an soon to be earning enough to afford things I never thought I would. Coz I never gave up,, my Lil bro whose 25 is on drugs an we the only have each other,,yet I believe in him he'll one day kick the habit out an be a better man .🎉🎉🎉🎉 to those of roses 🌹 who grew from the concrete....🎉🎉🎉
So Bron was a bum an he should retire,,,why would it matter when 43 year old goes to 76s,,why the outcry,,if he was a bum what the hell he gone do since he a bum😅😅😅 if Dwight would sign with the Cavs or Celtics younger as he is than Lebron,,would that move command so much attention😒 why?? Coz yall damn know his contribution would not be as much as LeBron's contribution is going to be in this team when its needed,,provided he stays healthy an the team is healthy!!!
@CircleSquaredProdukHow many " you know what I mean" from ai
@BaoTran-qh6kmthats my dog, AI all day, everyday one of the greatest of all time! he can tell you how hard it is to win without the highest level players in the league! been a fan since G-Town!
@shawndevaughnSAS you should hire AI for first take during the NBA season and college seasons
@drellbourne6800No !!! Its going be a problem watch Philly not going thru his B.S.the team knows its going be problem...
@wwmoon101SAS talked plenty of ish about AI when they both was in Philadelphia 🤦🏽♂️
@bronem7902A.I been the realest since his playing days and his honor remains intact. You don’t have to dim someone else’s light to put shine on another 💯
@redd1387No no no no leave MJ alone that ship has sailed
@JohnHolmes-y2bBarkley was destroyed by MJ in the Finals that is why he wants to claim Leflop as goat 😂
@chromalusion15Yeah Philly going to the finals for sure dawg folks ass gone be a problem dawg this shit still
Don’t seem really they are loaded asf damn
Ai sounding really good. Is he still succeeding on his sobriety does anyone know? Seeing him fresh eyed and so sharp with Shaq on that Reebok netflix show was so good… I haven’t followed him since then…
@iracingaussieHey Stephen A why ur putting the pressure on LeBron for this? It should be on Embid him being able to be healthy all season long.
@-RJhayI think they forgot to tell the judge that hes car keys was missing and they were found at one of his friend's house. Even after his friend first said he didnt have it,and another person was called and said that the keys were in his room somewhere. Then all of a sudden he found them and gave it to his parent. So right there,clearly indicates some sort of cover up about truth of what happened that day. Its just my opinion.
@GeofreySteven-hg4bgAI telling Steph Curry he knew him as a baby is a funny video, i think he was litty too
@Rixx432SHAQ, AI, Barkley, Bird, Kobe, Hakeem, Durant, Curry, Wade and Garnett:
= ALL TOP 25 And ALL Say Jordan is the 🐐 🐐
Oh my god Stephen A you are so delusional
Wake up
I counted Iverson said "You know" 89 times during this interview
@zebow2811Yall got the best fans until they play the knicks 😂😂
@terrym4832Loved hearing this as a Sixers fan since the AI era. Thank you Stephen A Smith.🙏
@Zack-cr9icAllen "you know what I mean?" Iverson
@steamedpunksAI 76ers > Bron 76ers‼️
@DaReal_Mack_1LeBron and Embiid should play the two man game and everyone else is screening cutting catching and shooting.
@Robby3296Idc what anyone says. Lebron is the best basketball player to come through the NBA.
@Just_grind34Damn it …Bust for a 42 year old legend with a 2 years 8 million dollar salary?
All BS!!!
Anyone with a damn brain can see that Bron wants an easier path to getting a ring. It is what is. He knew he couldn’t beat the Thunder or the Spurs in LA so he bounced to a team with better players. He couldn’t lead the Lakers to a championship even with Luka so he left. It’s not rocket science. He also wants to play with a team full of brothers.
@DJAjamuI'm a SPUR's fan and I reside in Dallas, Texas.. But me and my wife are taking vacation and will be attending at least one 76ers game this year. Can't wait!! As a matter of fact I'm going to call it now, it will be Philly vs San Antonio for the NBA finals and we will be attending at least two home playoff games if that happens.
@Louisianimal318-uI've been a sixers fan since Allen Iverson. It's payback time for a 2001
@BrandonJohnsonsr-z8mDid AI bring Phili a championship? No right? So how the hell is it championship or bust.. now?
