This is by far my favorite Steven A Smith segment ever in history. As a Kobe fan, I agree with him every step of the way.

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.

Iverson is my favorite player of all time. I had his shoes, wore a shooting sleeve, bought his merchandise and clothes and even bought his documentary way back in the early 2000s. He's the reason I became a basketball fan and a sixers fan. The fact that this hasn't been asked to be apart of the organization in some way or form is not only disrespect to AI but it's disrespectful to all the fans AI has brought to the sixers.

P-Town right over here. I watched him playing high school football and basketball. He was the best athlete on the field and court by far!

I grew up and lived down the street from Bethel HS in Hampton, VA when Iverson went to jail for that bowling alley fight and when he was drafted. The way that man held down Philly and got them to a finals which was a miracle playing with a bunch of scrubs, 76ers need him on the staff or elsewhere in the organization yesterday.

@@Alanboy395 They don't owe him a job because of that bro. Do you not see how that could be an issue? Do you want to be the guy who has to fire AI if he does a bad job? Remember Magic coaching the Lakers? They got pressured into making that hire because of his fame in LA. If AI really has the skills, he could get a job elsewhere. Right now we should be talking about the Sixers having to fight for him from other teams instead of owing him a job.

AI was Definitely A BOSS , Gave his Opponents Serious PROBLEMS On the Court.

Well said...

Best comments he’s made in years 👍🏾

That would never happen if you were a LAKER!!! AI was something special

Nicely put Stephen A. 100% facts bro!!!! AI is the best thing to happen to the Sixers in the last 30 plus years

"Stephen A" is the greatest to ever do it. On point. 💯

Be at Peace with self; when there is so much doubt in the mist. You become the clarity.

I bet Philly doesn't want AI because he probably had the clairvoyance to say "trade simmons and try and keep butler"

We are emotional fans looking from the outside in. We don't what the Sixers know. But at least give him a shot.

They really need to make it right with Allen iverson many Philadelphia! I met him and he was such a good dude and he is such a hero to me I was starstruck and couldn’t speak other than say thank you! How many players have the ability to touch a city like that!

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.

Wow....Stephen A hit the bullseye with this rant....finally

This was a good one

AI was my favorite player growing up. I think whatever this man wants to do within the organization, he should be given the opportunity.

An organization started rules because of AInn they didn’t like his “package” but when they’re cold asf trying to restart everything. They turn on the AI symbol to save the process 😂

Finally you dropped something I’m on board with

Always loved watching him play he always brought it every night

76’ers better start treating Allen Iverson like the iconic brand ambassador that he is

He is a good dude..... not only was he a great player but only one of the players who come to the inner city and help and talk with the kids!!!!! Facts!!!!

That just gave me chills well said..💯💪🏾🎯

Stephen A finally making a good point.

Facts yo✔️🖤

This is a rare moment that I agree 100000000% with Steve A. Iverson is the best PG to play the game. Absolutely deserves to be involved in the 76ers organization. It's sad the 76ers never invested in players to surround him. GOAT
