About this sound

This clip lifts the most quoted beat of Allen Iverson's legendary 2002 press conference, where the NBA star rants about being questioned over practice: I supposed to be a franchise player, but we in here talking about practice. His exasperated, repeating delivery turns one complaint into comedy. Played over lazy teammates, missed responsibilities and anything people obsess over instead of the real issue, it lands as pure dismissive disbelief.
