Larry Brown wants Allen Iverson in the Sixers front office
Former Philadelphia 76ers coach Larry Brown is trying to get Allen Iverson a gig as an assistant general manager for his former team. Yes, as an executive of an actual NBA team.
Iverson, having just turned 40, is sadly still known to be struggling with life after basketball, but it hasn't stopped Brown from reaching out to the organization.
"I just wish there was some way that he could be involved," Brown said in a telephone interview Friday. "Just teach him about the organization and let him figure it out, figure out how he can help. He can certainly judge talent. He certainly has people's respect. Kids will listen to anything he said. He's certainly bright as hell.
"Just teach him how to be involved with the NBA, whatever level you want, but I think ultimately I'd like to see him get into management. I think he'd be a huge asset."
You can't blame Brown for wanting to help out an old friend, let's just hope something good comes out of his this.
