    actually I thought the interview was pretty lame...especially when SAS told the audiance to clap for AI caused he said he loves his mama.

    for the most part it was basketball is great cause the best players are from the hood

    it seemed pretty slanted and in no way provided anything useful or entertaining
    I respect AI's game but he is a little too much "I have overcome great odds to be where I am". I would have been more impressed with hood kids need to take greater responcibility for themselves and especially their kids

    DarkReign....you are implying that GoSpurs is being racist about AI but your are doing the same thing to him with your comments. Can't have it both ways.

    None
    Tejano, grew up Poor (I am upper middle class now through hard work), Citykid, Born in Chicago, college grad
    so YOU asshole...just because I believe in people being decent and not thugs doesnt make me WASP!

    I cant help it if you are one of the Generation En led/Slacker and dont want to take responsibility for your own actions but are impressed by flash. I was raised differently and have had to earn everything I have today.

    I probably have more black friends than you do. Unlike you I probably have more friends from different parts of society of all different ages. Some from the hood and some from the middle class. For the most part my slacker friends (mexican, black, asian and white) tend to be more gangster than the ones who went to college. I just tend to equate gangter with lazy.

    The fact is AI was saying this same story 4 years ago. I just think its sad that in 4 years it doesnt seem like AI has grown one bit. He still sounds like the kid trying to impress the hood. He hasnt had to do that is some time but I guess for some reason he feels he stills needs to talk that way.

    I didn't say he should or shouldn't. I was just explaining to the Piston fans why some Spurs fans don't like him. I don't like him for different reasons -- his basketball analysis is horrible and he's too loud for my taste.
    Exactly how I feel.

    If he would give some insightful anaylsis of the game... that would actually make some type of sense -- I would watch... even if it's not about the Spurs -- any team -- but he doesn't even do that.

    Give credit where credit is due -- all he does is yell really loud and try to convince you that he is right -- makes me ill...

    Give me Steve Kerr or Barkely any day
