On hanging out at TGIFs:

“Man, listen,” he says. “I didn’t know that the Philly cheesesteak wrap was that good when I was in Philly. I tried them when I got out here and every day since then. Every day since then!”

On Being Broke:

“I would be a damn fool to blow that much money and have five kids to take care of. One thing I do have, and I can say, is that I do have money. A lot.”

    Wrong... in America Broke = living below the poverty line...middle class = getting by and paying your bills regularly, rich = living in the top 1% of all income earners, wealthy = living in the top 10% of the rich. AI is rich.. AI could've been wealthy, but he spent frivolously. As a middle class dude... I'd take being AI 'broke'

    Thus it is a relative term...

    No... it's absolute. AI's is in the top, 'rich', tax bracket for millionaires... Thus he isn't broke... only on the internet can a dude making millions be considered broke.

    Its possible to be a millionaire and be broke its possible to have nothing and be rich its about how you look at it...broke is a slang term with no clear definition now if you used the words bankrupt or impoverished those are clear meanings broke could simply mean you cannot afford to buy such and such or your debits - credits = ( ), as well as many other things in other words it has relative meaning

    True, but Iverson doesn't have his own brand or part-ownership of an NBA team like Jordan does....so Mike can do that. lol

    You can't even compare Iverson's money to Jordan's money.....

    And he might be broke by professional athlete standards, but by regular dude standards, he still got dough....lol
