Allen Iverson interested in working for 76ers front office

Allen Iverson wants to stay a Sixer. At least that's what he said in the Sixers' broadcast booth last week.

“I would like to be even in that war room,” Iverson said of potentially working in a front office capacity. “Even if they don’t go with my decision or whatever, just to have an opinion and putting out what I think and trusting the organization to do what’s right.”

When asked what he looks for when evaluating a player that others might not necessarily pick up on, Iverson had a simple answer.  

“The fight. Their fight. The fight in a guy. I’m the biggest [Russell] Westbrook fan I think there is, because he reminds me so much of myself, as far as his heart and laying it on the line night in and night out.”

Iverson is well-respected for his on-court effort, and his in-game experiences may provide him with a unique point-of-view when it comes to player evaluation.

The 11-time All-Star remains revered in Philadelphia, and draws a crowd at Wells Fargo Center every time he is in attendance. It is amusing to think of him and Sam Hinkie co-exsisting in the war room on draft day.
