Future NBA Hall-of-Famer Allen Iverson has been known to enjoy a few adult beverages from time to time. Perhaps well aware of this, the rapper Nelly used this knowledge to his advantage and once challenged a not sober Iverson to a game of H.O.R.S.E.
The result? According to Iverson, Nelly "beat his ass."
From Sole Collector's Gerald Flores interview with Iverson:
Have a lot of rappers over your career tried to come at you on the basketball court?
“Not one-on-one. Me and Nelly played H.O.R.S.E. He’s a friend of mine. I remember one night we went to Jermaine Dupri’s studio and I had been drinking before I got there. We went into the gym and he beat my ass. Then he went on 106 and Park and bragged about it. So the next time we played, I made sure that I came prepared. I hadn’t drunk anything and beat his ass. And during that game he was saying, “You need to get him a couple drinks.” I told him, “Nah. Not today. You ain’t going to brag on this one.”
Here is video of footage of Iverson beating Nelly in the rematch he talked about with Flores:
Nelly probably learned his lesson after that rematch. Don't brag about beating Iverson in H.OR.S.E. because he will find you and then destroy you.
