Former Sixers great Allen Iverson is in the Philippines for a charity basketball game, easily the biggest attraction at an event that also includes former NBA players Eddy Curry and DerMarr Johnson. Iverson held a media event Wednesday at which he was asked a number of questions, one of which was if the Sixers had offered to put him on their coaching staff.
Just to spell it out, Iverson said that he would never want to coach, because “we would never practice!” Just classic. Speaking of which, if you’re still in the dark about why that was such a funny response, you need to stop everything and watch Iverson’s notorious 2002 rant: “Practice?? We talking ’bout PRACTICE, man!” And if you have seen it before, you know that you can never see it enough.

It’s great that Iverson has clearly embraced this episode, which isn’t generally considered one of the more laudatory moments of his decorated career.
