Twitter.com has revolutionized the way NBA players are reaching out to their fans, and now in the case of Allen Iverson, announcing their career decisions.
Today Iverson Twittered that he is planning on accepting the Memphis Grizzlies one- year 3.5 million dollar offer. The economy is not only effecting the average man's salary, last season Iverson earned 21 million dollars. Hopefully he can find solace in the fact that there will be many more players past their prime who will see a similar drop off in salary.
The Grizzlies have a promising young team with the likes of sophomore SG O.J. Mayo, the electrifying SF Rudy Gay, and a solid young point guard in Mike Conley. Why on earth they would ever add Iverson to this mix I am oblivious to. AI is a cancer, as a 15 year vet he has learned to say the right things, but on the court anything goes. Iverson will shoot when he wants, he will force passes into traffic, and he will be a locker room distraction. AI is possibly the very last player I would want around my young team.
