I grew up in Hampton, Virginia, where Iverson was born and raised, so honestly i due
have a bit of bias. I mean he may be cocky...big headed...eccentric...and an old head, but
the guy can play ball haha. Well according to this article, Iverson is having quite a bit of trouble
trying to find a home in the NBA this season. I heard rumors about the Bobcats, but i guess
nothing's coming to fruition...I'll be updating the blog if they're any updates...enjoy
denly, Larry Brown is playing clearinghouse for Allen Iverson’s(notes) character and coachability.
The calls from curious front-office executives about Iverson, Brown says, are coming to him. For everything that Charlotte’s coach implies has been misunderstood about A.I.’s disastrous season with the Detroit Pistons, Brown sounds as disingenuous as ever while making the case for the NBA’s most fascinating unsigned free agent.
No one is making calls on Allen Iverson. No one. Why? They all know the answers about The Answer.
If your team’s a contender, Iverson proved with the Pistons that he wants no part of fitting into a system. If you’re a bad team trying to develop young players, he’ll stunt growth. Here’s the problem: Iverson is just good enough to still be dangerous.
So why would they call someone who worked with him six years ago, when he was a different player in a different time? As believability goes, this is like Brown’s boy wonder, John Calipari, pitching the NCAA that he had nothing to do with Derrick Rose’s(notes) SAT scores.
