Allen Iverson is going to be a head basketball coach. But not in the NBA. Not in the NBA’s D-League. Not even in college basketball.

No, no. Allen Iverson is going to be a head coach in a new three-on-three professional basketball league. From Woj:
Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson has committed to serve as a head coach/player in the new BIG3 three-on-three professional basketball league that’s set to launch this summer, sources told The Vertical.
Iverson will be one of eight dual head coach/players in the league, which is backed by entertainment icon Ice Cube and includes Roger Mason as president and commissioner.
Iverson is currently scheduled to be at a Wednesday press conference to discuss the league’s launch, which is supposed to be this summer.
We’re all wondering if he’ll wear his Dallas Cowboys garb to the presser, aren’t we?
