Rusty Burrell went viral on Sunday after finishing the Broad Street Run dressed like Allen Iverson while dribbling a basketball the entire way.
Rusty Burrell, like most of the other 27,000 runners who completed Sunday’s Broad Street Run, went out last week for a few final practice laps to make sure he was ready. Except his tune-ups included a basketball.
“I definitely didn’t expect this kind of attention but it’s been fun,” said Burrell, who recovered Monday from the race while watching footage of him posted all over social media. Burrell, a Washington sports fan, needed something for Philly and figured Iverson — who grew up in Virginia and“We have love for him down here the same way that Philly does,” said Burrell, who finished the course with an average mile of 9 minutes, 15 seconds.
“It wasn’t as bad as I thought,” Burrell said of dribbling a ball from North Philly to South Philly. “I was going into it thinking, ‘I’ll start with the basketball but once I start hating it I’ll ditch it or carry it.’ But it wasn’t too bad. People kept asking me during the race if I was going to keep doing it and I told so many people that I was that I felt like I had to show up with my basketball at the end.
