Allen Iverson recently turned down an opportunity to join the Texas Legends, the D-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks. People are now suggesting it’d be great if he filled in for Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics! Do you think he’ll ever make it back to the NBA?

The Celtics are now 2-0 since losing Rajon Rondo for the season with an ACL tear in his right knee. A vocal minority have speculated that perhaps this team might be better off without the services of the All-Star point guard, a notion the coach dismissed quickly on Thursday.

Danny Ainge said he would never fall into the same trap that plunged the Celtics into NBA purgatory for fifteen long years.
“ I sat with Red (Auerbach) during a Christmas party (in the 1990s),” Ainge, the Celtics general manager, told the Boston Globe in a January interview a year ago. “ Red was talking to Larry, Kevin, and myself and there was a lot of discussion at the time...
