Rod Brind'Amour appears to have an appreciation for Allen Iverson's most memorable quip.
The Carolina Hurricanes' head coach did his best impression of the NBA Hall of Famer on Tuesday when asked about forward Jordan Martinook's status ahead of the Eastern Conference Final against the Boston Bruins.
Tuesday is the 17th anniversary of Iverson's legendary rant in which the former Philadelphia 76ers guard repeatedly said "we talkin' about practice."
Brind'Amour and Iverson played in Philadelphia during a three-and-a-half season stretch in the late '90s.
The Hurricanes' bench boss suited up for the Flyers from 1991 to 2000, and he was traded to Carolina about two-and-a-half years before Iverson's rant.
