Lawd, this fool got a movie coming out titled, 'Deconstructing Allen Iverson'. Hopefully, it'll go straight to DVD because I can't see paying for a documentary. Nevertheless, I hope it's good.
Damn. AI must be losing fans by the boatload! Either that or he's starting to realize that he is not the man he once was. He's old news now; a far cry from his glory days. He has a Myspace page, Twitter page (which we all know he is not taking the time out to type anything on there), and a Facebook page, and he still doesn't feel the "love". I haven't checked out the new web site in its entirety yet. Just saw the trailer when I first logged on.
Does anyone know if that other website he has is still up and running? I haven't "swung by there" in months, and it was quite dead then. I can't remember the web site but it's only been up and running since he got to Detroit. I don't know what he's going for, but hopefully this new site will stay up.
