    Allen Iverson is literally THE REASON I am a Sixer. I'm 6'0 ft now, and that was the height of my father when I was a kid. AI made me believe, in my heart, that I could be a professional basketball player dunking on 7'0 ft guys. I kid you not when I say that man taught me to FEARLESS no matter who was in front me. He is genuinely one of the biggest, simplest inspirations in my life. The day he backs out from the Sixers, I'm backing out with him.

      ITS A JOB just like any Job, you have to be equipped mentally and experience wise. Retired players who end up coaching, consulting and training laid the groundwork. They attended coaching camps to update their knowledge, built a network, applied for understudy positions, trained players, coached HS College ball... They didnt retire, did whatever, then years later just walked in and asked for a position solely on their individual accolades as players. cause you can be a great individual talent as a player but coaching demands more.

    People laugh when I say AI would make a great coach. He's done it all. Rookie of the year, All Star, MVP, All First Team Offense AND defense, Olympian and twice lead the league in assists. (We gotta mention that more often!) Had the Sixers given him someone to actually play with, he'd probably have a Championship too. He'd be a great coach because he can relate to any player. We all know the high pedestal they all hold him on. And he'd make sure these young dudes worked harder, and learned from his every mistake.

They attended coaching camps to update their knowledge, built a network, applied for understudy positions, trained players, coached HS College ball... They didnt retire, did whatever, then years later just walked in and asked for a position solely on their individual accolades as players. cause you can be a great individual talent as a player but coaching demands more.
