AI gets a bad rap for his tattoos and prior run ins with the law and his coaches but have you seen him play? He plays the game with such heart that all basketball fans appreciate that.
Has AI been bad in the past? Yes. When he was younger, but now he's matured and been out of trouble.
AI is very similiar to certain NFL linebacker who has connections with a murder. Yet he's everywhere and pariased because he plays the game with heart and intensity.
It goes both ways. So to say the NFL is better than the NBA is ignorant.
