Providing the soundtrack to the near-800 games that Allen Iverson played for the 76ers wouldn’t be too bad of a gig, right? Such became the nature of Tom McGinnis’ assignment over the course of Iverson’s 12 seasons with the 76ers.
McGinnis, set to begin his 22nd year as the voice of the Sixers Radio Network, joins Sixers.com’s Brian Seltzer for this September 8th edition of The BroadCast. As #AIWeek coverage continues on the podcast, the two listen back on some of the memorable Iverson highlights McGinnis called during the Sixers’ 2001 playoff run. McGinnis also speaks about:
*The personality and aura that Iverson brought to the Sixers.
*The relationship that developed between Iverson and head coach Larry Brown.
*Various anecdotes from the 2000-2001 season.
The sit-down with Snow picks up at the 5:15 mark of the podcast, which will be releasing new episodes with special guests each day this week, leading up to Iverson’s induction into the Hall of Fame this Friday, September 9th.
