Allen Iverson was born to play professional basketball. Yes, he nearly pursued a football career after setting all kinds of records during high school. And yes, he could have gone and done something else with his life. But if you grew up watching AI play, then you know that the guy was literally born to play ball. He was at home on the basketball court.
Now that he no longer plays basketball professionally, though, what's next? It's a question he has been trying to answer for the last few years now. And during a recent interview with Bleacher Report, he answered it by revealing that he has a new dream. He wants to—you ready for this?—become a professional fisherman. No, but like, for real.
"I want to become a professional fisherman," said AI, who also revealed that he spends hours these days at Bass Pro Shops copping fishing hooks, lures, rods, and whatever else he can get his hands on. "I want to get good enough to compete with the best in the world and be on ESPN. I'm good right now, but I could be the best. That's my dream right now. I'm really going to make it happen."
