Why Allen Iverson Be A Cleveland Cavaliers Assistant Coach

Tyronn Lue has given Allen Iverson the ultimate green light to seek him out should he want a coaching position. Should Iverson accept, a player development role with the Cleveland Cavaliers is a shot he can’t pass up.

In a video with TMZ, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue was asked about his relationship with Allen Iverson. As he talked about their friendship, Lue enlightened fans to its depth.

Lue compared his relationship with Iverson to a sibling-like brotherhood. This may surprise some NBA fans, considering the ridicule Lue suffered after Iverson infamously stepped over him after a vicious crossover and pull-up jumper had Lue stumbling, bumbling and falling in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals.
