Allen Iverson is a player coach for the 3’s Company squad in the BIG3 basketball league. A.I.’s squad beat the Ball Hogs 61-51 and Andre Owens had 20 points. Following the game I asked A.I. if he was “laying in the weeds” and playing reduced minutes until the playoffs. He flat out said no, he’s too old. But, he is taking his role as coach seriously and believes that Owns left the NBA too early and he wants him to shine and get another shot.
See A.I.’s full comments below.
A.I. was the most popular figure at Barclays Center on Sunday. He heard chants from the crowd and said while he enjoys it “it’s about letting other guys shine.”
