You have heard it by now. Allan Iverson is claiming the Detroit Pistons lied to him about his role with the team. Allan claims the Coach Michael Curry, now fired, said to Allan Iverson, now a Grizzlie, that he would start Allan and would never disrespect Allan by bringing him off the bench.

Believe it or not, George Karl the Nuggets coach is a big fan of Allen Iverson and thinks that Allen will thrive in Memphis if he is prepared to move to a new part in his career.

Will Allen Iverson, better known as the Truth, be coming to a team near you soon? That is a question we all ask ourselves, isn’t it?
Hmm, maybe Allen is not news anymore. Geez, have one troubled season and they write you off. OK, maybe troubled season is not the way to put it or you could qualify his whole career as troubled. Or as my Boss likes to quote “Practice? Why are we talking about practice?”.
Maybe it would be more accurate to say …read more

One of the most encouraging trends is the International trend in NBA basketball to become more popular overseas.

Allen Iverson is out for the season with an injured back. Some think the back thing is an excuse, but let’s give the player his due. Allen wants to win.
If you look out onto the hardwood court while Allen Iverson is playing, you will see a player that gives his all and does it all the time. That cannot be said for all NBA players. Years ago, Kelly Tripucka used to say that most pro players cruised through the season and then amped it …read more
