With the 2016 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony just a few days away, The BroadCast will be devoting an entire week’s worth of content to the celebration of Allen Iverson’s career.
#AIWeek on The BroadCast begins Tuesday, September 6th, with a roundtable discussion featuring Dei Lynam and Neil Hartman. The two veteran Philadelphia reporters followed Iverson extensively for Comcast SportsNet, and reflect on what it was like to cover such a distinct superstar during the 10 seasons he spent with the Sixers. Among the stories they share include:
*The influence that Allen Iverson and Larry Brown had on each other.
*The Sixers’ 2000-2001 run to the NBA Finals.
*The “practice” press conference.
The interview with Lynam and Hartman starts at the 8:00 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.
