Allen Iverson showed support for his friend Michael Vick, who was named the head football coach at Norfolk State University last week. Iverson attended Vick’s introductory press conference and welcomed the former NFL star to the area for his first collegiate head coaching stint.
Iverson spoke highly of the four-time Pro Bowler. The former Philadelphia 76ers great also recounted Vick’s career and personal experiences, which, he said, would make him a good college coach.
“I love him so much. I just know he deserved it. We come from the same area, and we understand each other because we went through similar lives. It’s hard to get away from here, and go to where you want to go in life with all the different distractions, and everything that come with trying to be somebody that you always wanted to be,” Iverson said.
