You know what I think it is? Jalen and I interviewed him once when I was at Grantland. We did a pod with him and it was like, it was like a thrill. It was like really, it was so cool to just shoot the shit with him. And I might even said this to him on the pod, but I always felt like he was one of the most self-aware athletes that I ever followed.
He was somebody that you would have thought was a complete disaster and he was, but he was also completely painfully aware of all his faults, all his mistakes, all the issues he had and could talk about it. Which I don't, I can't even think of anybody. Iverson, I think, has a little bit of that too.

There's an interest, self-introspection that was always unusual about him. Even as it was like, I'm talking Robin Givens era all the way through. He always kind of knew, I remember writing a column about it once about, he kind of became the Tony Montana say hello to the bad guy character because he kind of knew that was how society saw him. He was like, yeah, say hello to me. I'm the bad guy.

So in my column, I created the Tyson zone, which was when somebody acts so consistently crazy that you'll just believe any story. And Charlie Sheen entered that. Kanye definitely. Oh my God. You know, there's certain people where you're like, I'll believe any story now.

That's my favorite. That was the best one. Yeah. We went the first year of Jimmy's show. We went to go. He was the guest host. And we went to, he had like this pigeon coop in Harlem. And I went with uncle Frank. I was like the writer. And we spent, I don't know how long, on the rooftop just watching Mike flew pigeons. And he was so sad and so traumatized by his whole life.
