It’s funny if you take Allen Iverson’s infamous practice quote and add in the words “ping pong” every chance you can.
We’re talking about ping pong practice man. We’re talking about ping pong practice. We’re talking about ping pong practice. We’re not talking about the ping pong game. We’re talking about ping pong practice. When you come to the ping pong arena, and you see me play ping pong, you’ve seen me play ping pong right, you’ve seen me give everything I’ve got, but we’re talking about ping pong practice right now.
“Iverson over Lue”
Stay down, Tyronn Lue. There’s nothing up here but us ruthless killers.
After coming off the bench and brilliantly defending a white hot Allen Iverson in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals, AI peeled back and pulled up, as Lue fell down. What the Answer did next, is immortalized by Maciej Bernat.
Watch the play here. It’s enough to make you say, “Oh, Tyronn!”
Of course Lue played a hand in keeping Iverson at bay during the 5-game series, helping the Lakers win back-to-back championships, but unfortunately, this may be what he’s remembered for in the years to come.

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride.
With sword and pistol by my side.
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade.
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five,
But I am still alive.
If you can dream it, Allen Iverson, you can achieve it.
