So remember on September 9th, when I posted on this very site, that Allen Iverson was going to Memphis? I questioned just how long it would take for him to become angry with his role on a young team and well, last night marked the Answer’s first outburst. After playing in his first game of the season due to a hamstring injury, Iverson scored 11 points in just 18 minutes in the team’s overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings last night. According to NBA Fanhouse, this is what AI had to say post-game.
“I had no problems (with the hamstring). I had a problem with my butt from sitting on that bench so long. That’s the only thing I got a problem with.”
“Yeah I’ll be disappointed if I’m a sub this season. I’m not a reserve basketball player. I’ve never been a reserve all my life and I’m not going to start looking at myself as a reserve…To answer the question, “No, I’m not a bench player. I’m not a sixth man. Go look at my resume and that will show you I’m not a sixth man.”
Iverson needs to take a long hard look at guys around the league like Manu Ginobili, Ben Gordon, and Lamar Odom, guys who are more talented than he is at their stages in their career, yet embrace their sixth man role and do what is asked of them. Manu and Lamar have helped their teams win titles while Gordon has helped the Bulls reach the playoffs and almost pull of a first round upset over the Celts.
Looks like Iverson should have gone to the Charlotte Bobcats this season. That 79.8 points per game total they have notched so far is mightly woeful Continue reading Iverson Is Already Pissed, No One Is Suprised
