I just watched and excerpt from his press conference back in Philadelphia, he was tearful and emotional, one thing stuck out at me though....he explained that a lot of his actions when he was younger led to this perception of him being a person that hes really not. Is it possible that after all this he still doesnt get it?? That the reason all this happened is that hes a me first player, who puts himself above his teammates and it's his way or the highway?? These are young people mistakes, yes, but he made these mistakes as recently a month ago, and not to mention last year......when he was 33 and 34 years old if im not mistaken. Thats not young.
Maybe all this is being swept under the rug and everyone is just ignoring the big blue elephant in the room over there at this point and Philly is just accepting AI for what he is over the next few months and AI is accepting Philly for what it is.
Im sure Im just pointing out the obvious and I know this kind of a semi feel good situation to a lot of people but to me, hearing that explanation for his alienation from the rest of the teams in the league is almost as funny as watching that john thompson interview with him talking about doing what it takes to win a title. I guess Denial aint just a river in Egypt.
