There's a good chance Allen Iverson will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend. News of Yao Ming's enshrinement has already leaked and it sounds like the rest of the class will be announced at some point down at the Final Four in Houston.
Iverson has been making the media rounds in the lead up. He'll be appearing on an All-Iverson "Sixers City" on Comcast SportsNet on Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. and he is a guest today on Rachel Nichols' newish ESPN show "The Jump" in which he talks about the now legendary stepover move in the NBA Finals against Tyronn Lue and the Lakers.
Lue's name obviously popped back up in the news this year when LeBron James successfully angled for him to become the Cavs' new head coach.
Nichols asked A.I. about the clip being played a ton recently due to Lue's ascension.
"I don't like it," Iverson says of constantly seeing the clip. "Because I love him. I don't like people joking on him because that's my man."
All of that said, Sixers fans will always like it, no matter what A.I. says.
Back in 2012, Iverson told Slam Magazine the pair become good friends, "Once I hit the shot, he was right there and it was just a reaction. The strangest part about that is, me and him were big-time enemies when we played against each other; now we’re the best of friends."
