Allen Iverson Remembers His Connection With Philadelphia … And TGI Friday’s

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Allen Iverson has a lot of great memories about the city of Philadelphia. The fans, the NBA Finals run in 2001, his coach Larry Brown, all have special places in his heart. The best memory he has might not be at the corner of Broad and Pattison though, it’s on City Line Avenue.

“Allen literally reminisced about the [TGI] Friday’s on City Line Ave. for a half hour,” said Slam Magazine senior editor Tzvi Twersky. Twersky recently sat down with Iverson to discuss his time in Philadelphia, and the re-release of Iverson’s classic Reebok shoe, The Question. “He said, ‘we made it the third biggest franchise in the United States.’ He said ‘I remember they used to have to check ID’s at the door because it was so bumpin’.” Iverson famously frequented the City Line Ave. restaurant, often times parking his Bentley in the parking lot.
