OVERHEARD
“There can't possibly be any team in their right mind to take [Allen Iverson] back on their roster. He won't be a team player and do what it takes for the team to use him in their best interest and everybody already knows it. He thinks he should still be able to start instead of coming off the bench and he will never do it no matter who the coach is or how much they beg him to do it.
” -- jlkendzior
“Any team that signs [Iverson] should expect nothing but drama, and certainly not a championship. However, we are in a recession and teams need ticket sales. He will land somewhere, not in the name of sport, but in the name of business.
