If Bonzi Wells managed to score 50 points in China, Iverson is going to average 70 points a game.

Seriously speaking though, I'm surprised he didn't get any offer but China seems like an OK decision to continue his basketball career while he try to make an NBA comeback, if he is trying at all.

Sit, np man. :D Jennings actually has the potential for that, after his latest "I didn't make team USA because I wear Under Armour shoes".

Once he's in China, I don't think he'll be able to come back. He's not young, and he has a cancer tag. I hope to see him staying in the NBA regardless of how shitty contract he gets.

Zanshadow.

No team wants him.

And even if they did, he wouldn't want the role/contract they would offer him.

And Cartar, I also wonder if he could trot to Europe and play as a starter for a lower caliber European side.

Not seeing Badger on here for a couple of days made me think we had ran him out. How very wrong I was. :shake:

Wojnarowski tweeted that Iverson isn't expected to accept the offer.

Why the thumbs down? That's more you'll ever earn in your lifetime and I think that's a bit higher than the veteran's minimum in the NBA.

It really is higher than the vet's min salary.

It's not that much higher really.

But it's not like Iverson has a choice, there is almost no way he plays in the NBA again currently.

In my mind, Iverson at the peak of his career was never paired up with the right teammates and maybe the right coaches. I'm not saying Larry Brown is crap or that all his teammates were bad. But It has always been said that Larry Brown's system that empasizes on defense, and Allen Iverson's own comment that at the peak of the 76ers success, he had no other team mates that was a threat to score 30 pts in a game.

I really pitied his situation back then, even if I was rooting for the opposing team, it was hard to not like Iverson's will. it was like watching a little guy getting punched in the gut 5-10 times in a game, then gets up and play 40+ minutes in a game. I think he can opt out of the contract after this year right? I really miss watching the Allen's Iverson ankle breaking crossover. I have never seen anything like it, and have not seen anything like it since. Hopefully, Playing in Turkey gives him a chance to show that he still has the NBA level talent.
YEAH BOY!
