The NBA doesn’t look like it will be calling Allen Iverson’s number anytime soon, but that’s okay, the iconic former Sixers star says he will likely pursue an opportunity in China. Iverson, who was recently a part of a US Legends of Basketball tour to the Far East, said he would go as long as a team really needed his services.
“I definitely want to return to the NBA, but if I can’t get back there, I’m hoping to play ball here (China).”
With regards to his team of choice, Iverson chose to reply obliquely, saying: “I’m not leaning towards any one team, and there’s no ‘first choice’ like what the others say.” However, Iverson points to the CBA as one of his backup options. “China is still one of my choices, but the team that wants me to join has got to show me that they really mean it, like ‘hey we really need you’.”
Iverson has mentioned on many occasions that he still feels he has something left in the tank, hopefully an NBA team does give him a shot.
