As Rumblings staffer Josh Rawdin speculated, Iverson could be getting ready for his debut as one of the captains in the “Big 3,” a professional three-on-three basketball league he’s a part of that’s supposed to begin on June 25. There are plenty of videos on the Big 3 website already but none feature Iverson wearing that outfit.
Also, it’s not that outrageous for Tyrod and Iverson to chill together. They’re both from the famed, Virginia Beach area, a locale in which many high-profile professional athletes were raised and played their high school ball.
Notable names from the 757 area code beyond Iverson and Tyrod:
- Bruce Smith
- Lawrence Taylor
- Mike Vick
- Percy Harvin
- Plaxico Burress
- Kam Chancellor
- Alonzo Mourning (basketball)

Yeah, it’s pretty clear the Hampton Roads section of Virginia is undoubtedly a hotbed for athletic talent.
