Oh, Allen.

What are we and the Memphis Grizzlies going to do with you?

You had to know before you signed that one-year contract with the Grizz that you weren’t going to start over O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley.

So tell me why you’re already throwing a fit about not starting?

“I had no problems with the hamstring. I had a problem with my butt sitting on that bench for so long,” Iverson told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. “I’m not a sixth man. Look at my resume and that’ll show I’m not a sixth man. I don’t think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It’s just who I am. I don’t want to change what gave me all the success that I’ve had since I’ve been in this league. I’m not a sixth man. And that’s that.”

You were a sixth man last year and you will continue to be a sixth man unless a team wants a selfish, aging point guard.

Grow up or just retire, A.I.

AI had a great run w/the 76ers….if he’s not playin’ like he used to…so be it…he doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone…………..

some of us adapt to change better than others…send coach thompson or jalen rose to talk with ai….it’s hard to sit in the audience when you’re used to being on stage…i pray he will be able to adjust and be thankful for his talent, skill, and fans who still care about his sanity on or off the court…

What do you mean by retiring. He is better than the starter and has been more productive than the starter, he should be starting and playing more minutes
