Rumor: Allen Iverson To Play Basketball In Puerto Rico

Found February 07, 2012 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Allen Iverson,  Rashad McCants,  Ike Diogu

96212028
According to Yahoo! Sports, former Philadelphia 76ers basketball star Allen Iverson is in exploratory talks with Puerto Rico’s professional basketball league Baloncesto Superior Nacional. The league starts in March and plays a 30-game season. The league pays about $20,000 per month plus living expenses. According to sources from Yahoo!, the owner of the league is selling to Iverson that if he plays in Puerto Rico, he could make his way back into the NBA. Iverson could be a very big ticket seller for the league, which has already seen starts like Rashad McCants and Ike Diogu already play. There is no interest in Iverson from any team in the NBA so this could be his only shot at playing basketball this year. Follow Ryan Gaydos on Twitter @RyanGaydos

Via SLAM Online  |  February 09, 2012
by Quinn Peterson / @QwinFNP If you were to talk to someone a half-dozen years ago or so, you’d be hard-pressed in convincing them that between Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, Gilbert Arenas and Baron Davis not a single game would be played in the ’11-12 NBA season.
