I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that?

That was one of the best interviews I've seen. He did raise some good points there. Yes even though it's a bad thing that he missed practices the guy still went out and dropped 30 on the other team like it was nothing. If Jordan missed a practice it wouldn't have been a big deal, but since it was Iverson, the world seemingly came to an end.
