I didn't see this before, and it popped up on my YouTube suggestions. I thought it was pretty interesting. Recap: 1. Top 5 of players of his generation: Him, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, and LeBron. I'm surprised he mentioned LeBron since he entered the NBA about midway through Iverson's career. 2. Kobe vs LeBron. Who would win 1v1? He first answers with "I don't know," but they were calling him out on that answer. He kind of goes with Kobe (and the people around him said "mamba easy") but he says that he likes both players so he doesn't want to get into that. 3. Which basketball player reminds him of himself? Nobody really plays like him, but in terms of heart, he thinks Westbrook is the most similar. 4. His dream big 3: Him, Mike, and Shaq. 5. Would he ever do commentary? No. He doesn't like talking negative about anybody. He's had it done to him so often that he knows what it feels like. If someone has a bad game, talking about it is not something that he would like doing.
But he is NOT executive material, period. Find a role for him with the Sixers sure, but let's not get carried away.
I would definitely put him with a trusted and experienced scout to show him the ropes and see if it's a fit. More to it than just watching games from time to time. Scouting is a major commitment to do it right and well. Is he ready for that?
Exactly. Easy to say you are interested, but not everyone is gifted in such opposite areas. If Iverson wasn't a "student athlete", is he wired for this? Like I said, start him off slow and see if it's a fit. Might have a winner.
