Allen Iverson Extremely Frustrated with Sixers

Ben Simmons isn’t the only one not happy with the Sixers.

Former Sixers superstar Allen Iverson is frustrated that he doesn’t have a role in the Sixers organization.

“I’m a Sixer for life. I got Sixer blood pumping through me. Everybody knows that I want to help that organization. I’ve been retired, what,11 years? I don’t know how I’m not a part of that staff,some kind of way. …it’s something that I don’t understand.”

"I've been retired 11 years, I don't know how I'm not a part of that staff."

Allen Iverson was a bit hesitant to talk about it, but here he discusses his desire to be a part of the Sixers organization.

He's right. Why is A.I. still not part of your organization even in some capacity? Shame on you @sixers https://t.co/YwsD9FApR8

There’s no doubt Iverson should be part of the organization in some capacity. But only if it’s a good fit for both parties. I’m pretty sure he’s not looking to be a token or mascot.
