It's been 14 years since Allen Iverson said the word "practice" 20 times in a timeless rant following the Philadelphia 76ers' elimination from the first round of the 2002 playoffs, and people are still very clearly enamored with it.

In fact, the anti-practice tirade has reached such cult status that Iverson still deals with fans on the street who come up to bother him about it instead of, say, bothering him about the 11 All-Star teams he made, the four scoring titles he won, or the almost 25,000 points he racked up in his 14-year NBA career.

So, all that being said, it was really no shock when the former MVP was asked about his famed diatribe at a press conference on Friday night when a reporter wanted to know if he still feels the same way about practice—as if he didn't make his point clear enough back in 2002.

Iverson responded in the way you might imagine, saying,

"Obviously you didn’t get it. Obviously you didn’t get it when I explained it, man. I didn’t think I’d ever get that question again. See, you might have not seen the documentary—so I’ll give you that. I’m just gonna hope you didn’t see it. You just heard me say I was the MVP. That’s the best player in the whole world. You think I can be the MVP without practicing? That’d be a bad motherfucker."

It's unclear if anyone asked him about the Bulls gear.
