SanMig Coffee head coach Tim Cone will team up with NBA legend Allen Iverson in overseeing a basketball clinic.
To be held at Barangay Holy Spirit in Quezon City on November 4, it is one of the activities lined up with "The Answer" during his Manila visit, highlighted by the November 5 "All In" charity basketball event at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Cone is already looking forward to the clinic, saying "I’m so honored to work with one of the true legends of the NBA. Just his mere presence will excite everyone." He adds, "Allen impacted a whole generation with his style and flair. Young people copied the way he played and copied the clothes he wore. He was also one of the great scorers in NBA history despite his height and frame, and he often carried teams on his back to the playoffs. He was a true winner on and off the court."
In a phone interview with his Philippine agent, Sheyrl Reyes, Allen can't wait to share his basketball know-how, as she has made him aware about Cone's accomplishments as a head coach, with the idea of the two of them working together being an exciting proposition for the retired guard.
Assisting Cone and Iverson in this project are PBA players Harvey Carey, Willie Miller, Sol Mercado, Chris Ross, and Jay-jay Helterbrand.
The clinic is for aspirants aged 10-15 years old. Limited slots are still available for a PhP 2500 fee. Interested parties can call (02) 575-1520 for reservations and inquiries.
Tickets are still available for the "All In" fundraiser, which can be purchased at www.smtickets.com, all SM Tickets outlets, and all PCWorx branches.
