Allen Iverson is going to coach AND play in Ice Cube’s new 3-on-3 league

It’s the real life video game we’ve all wanted. Don’t lie.

Allen Iverson will play and coach in this new BIG3 three-on-three professional basketball league that is arriving this summer, according to the league’s site.

Yes. Heck Yes.

Allen Iverson calling the shots and breaking ankles? Where do I sign up and can I get season tickets?

There is absolutely nothing that can make this story cooler. Nothing.

WAIT ICE CUBE IS INVOLVED?

So we’ll have Allen Iverson making defenders look silly and Ice Cube maybe messing around and getting some triple-doubles from time to time? What a time.

Iverson isn’t the only former NBA face you’ll see in the league. Chauncey Billups, Rashard Lewis, Jason Williams are a few of the league’s player-captains, while legends like Gary Payton and George Gervin will serve as coaches.

Sign me up. Also, will there be a video game? Asking for a friend.
