Nice try, AI. But those tears don't fool me. Despite crying a river during your Sixers press conference, I still think you are one of the most selfish players to ever wear an NBA uniform.
Get a load of this BS:
said. "I just want to be one of the guys. I don't need a whole bunch of
praise. I don't need a whole lot of accolades. I just want to play
basketball."
Fit in? You don't need praise? Then how come you aren't part of the success in Denver? And how come you refused to come off the bench in Detroit? And what the hell happened in Memphis?
Iverson still doesn't get why teams stayed away:
"Once guys in the front office start calling about a player, and you've
made the mistakes that I've made, you could see why that guys were
laying off me. I never thought it had anything to do with basketball
issues. It was always stuff off the court."
Wrong. It's all about basketball. Teams did not want to sign you because you are a disruptive, me-first player. And when your skills diminish, teams are less likely to tolerate your crap.
You're lucky the 76ers are more desperate than you, because you didn't deserve this 'last' chance.
