He was eventually released after just three games and abruptly retired, then re-signed with the Sixers, starting 24 games while averaging 13.9 ppg in 31.9 mpg.<\/p>\n<div>With no interest from an <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/the-cheapest-most-expensive-nba-teams-to-watch-in-2022-23\/\">NBA team<\/a> prior to the beginning of the 2010-11 season, he (unknowingly at the time) became somewhat of a\u00a0trendsetter\u00a0by playing overseas, though it wasn\u2019t successful.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In his defense, A.I. was going through a rough divorce while dealing with the illness of his young daughter.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At the same time, he was getting hammered by the press, most notably by notorious NBA loudmouth Steve A. Smith who basically accused Iverson through the press of being an alcoholic and addicted to gambling.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>PHEW- how could anyone play at an optimal level and not be distracted with all that going on?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Sure, Iverson\u2019s attitude is notorious and he is perceived as being a selfish, \u201cme first\u201d player, but it would be difficult for anyone to produce under those circumstances. But as Iverson said, that comes with the territory.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere are going to be people out there that say things,\u201d Iverson said. \u201cBut it\u2019s the same thing I teach my kids: \u2018If it\u2019s not true, why do you worry about it?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It bothers me at times because I do have a heart, and my kids do have to hear some of those things. But that\u2019s the only time it bothers me. I\u2019m used to people saying a bunch of things about me that are not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I for one, hope A.I. has something left in the tank and can perform well at the upcoming NBA tournament.<\/p>\n<p>He is truly one of the most exciting <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/top-5-sub-six-foot-players-in-nba-history\/\">players in NBA history<\/a>. No one wants to see him limp out of the league trying to stay relevant long enough to win a title.<\/p>\n<p>But if he is still capable of producing, it would be fun to watch. Just like with T.O. and Jesse Jane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, former NBA stud Allen Iverson he announced he will be competing in tournament called the

I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1457"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25915,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1457\/revisions\/25915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
