It was just a couple weeks ago that Allen Iverson was talking about how happy he was with the Memphis Grizzlies. But after only three games, the Allen Iverson Era is over in Memphis. The Grizzlies and IVerson agreed to buyout the remainder of his one-year contract that was worth approximately $3 million.
The main reason why Iverson didn’t like Memphis was that the team planned to use him off the bench. He came off the bench in each of the three games and averaged 12.3 points and 3.7 assists in 22.3 minutes per game.

Now, if Iverson wants to have a chance to play basketball for the 2009-2010 season he’s going to have to take whatever he can get. And that’s no laughing matter.

Just when we though Iverson would have outgrown his childish ways, he pulled a classic Iverson move on Thanksgiving — he skipped practice. While the rest of his teammates got up early and headed over to the gym, Iverson apparently thought he was too good for that and instead decided to skip it.
How much do you think Joe Dumars wishes he could take back that trade now? …read more
