Follow @sbnation on Twitter, and Like SBNation.com on Facebook. Feb 20, 2012 - Former NBA MVP Allen Iverson remains unclaimed by an NBA team two years after last playing in the league for the Philadelphia 76ers, but rumors continue to circulate about a potential return. One previous stumbling block was that Iverson was unwilling to play in the NBA Development League or any other minor-league system, but he has since changed his stance, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard: With hopes of getting one last shot in the NBA, former All-Star and league MVP Allen Iverson is contemplating playing minor league basketball, according to a person close to the situation. Iverson is willing to play in the Caribbean, in South America or even in the D-League if it gives him a chance to return to the NBA, the source said.No NBA team has expressed much interest in Iverson, but the Los Angeles Lakers' D-League affiliate has reached out to him before, according to Broussard. If that fails, at least Iverson has an offer to play minor-league soccer, according to a CBS Sports report.
:notsureifserious: so you are suggesting the guy who made the phrase "Practice? We talkin about practice!" famous become a trainer or coach. Bold strategy Cotton
at first glance i was like dang 12 people liked this i must really suck then upon some further examination and friar research i realized that most of those people are homosexuals, like batwing Craig Pettis BMR Clutch killerwvu POWESHOW cest bon
the dude couldn't get a job as a shooting coach or something like that? the dude was a great PG. just wondering why his ONLY option is to play a sport.
he signs with the Mad Ants so I can see him play. And I don't think he'd get schooled by D-Leaguers. The talent level in that league is turrible.
The dude seems desperate to make a quick million dollars. He should just get a job somewhere that does not involve playing in the d-league. I think as one of the better point guards in this generation, he could go teach some young talent at a camp or something. Maybe he is too big of a retard for that, or is just too broke
I think he ought to take the soccer deal. $40 grand for two games wouldn't be bad at all. I bet he'd do something incredibly athletic, too. Those videos of him playing HS football are insane.
says the guy who still celebrates the life of a bitch made faggot that killed himself like 20 years ago
Id imagine some European teams would be willing to throw maybe a mil or so at him. He may be well past his prime but people overseas would still pack the arenas to see one of the all time greats play imo
It's doubtful he had to really put much effort into academics in HS and college, so having an eighth grade education probably limits his options to sports. Maybe he could be a motivational speaker and talk to kids about life in the hood. Or he could start a hotline. For 99 cents a minute, you can ask the Answer.
While I dont think Iverson would even be close to being a semi decent coach it would hard to be worse than Thomas. Isiah pretty much destroyed the Knicks during his time there
bet AI could still break the ankles of every guard in the D league but as for coaching lets be realistic here guy has hated coaches and practice since he was like 12
