    I’m so happy I got to meet him at MGM while working during Melo’s Basketball 🏀 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! I’ll never forget that day! Thanks A.I.!!!! Much respect 🫡🙏

    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 DWade’s even though he didn’t bring the chip home

    Dayum, AI is the man. He looks deeper and wiser every year.

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

    He sounds so much clearer in terms of thought. Salute on the 6 months of sobriety. I know it wasn’t easy! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    Michael Jordan is the 🐐 but AI was always my favorite player growing up! The fans will never forget those years!
