Iβm so happy I got to meet him at MGM while working during Meloβs Basketball π HOF enshrinement weekend. I asked for a pic with him and he said sure but got sidetracked by other players. Hours later when he came back to the MGM casino, he saw me and called me over n we took a pic together! AI is a very humble guy! Iβll never forget that day! Thanks A.I.!!!! Much respect π«‘π

I loved A.I. as a basketball player and I congratulate him on his sobriety and wish him all the best going forward.

I still think the 76ers did him wrong by making his statue child sized. He deserves a full sized one at least as big as DWadeβs even though he didnβt bring the chip home

Al, sobriety is about repetition and discipline. It takes a lot of practice. 6 months is a start, like junior high basketball.
