All summer NBA fans have been wondering if Allen Iverson's career was over. After his disappointing stint with the Pistons and then having to watch his old Denver team improve considerably without him, it kind of looked like "The Answer" was no.
But thanks to instantaneous nature of Twitter, the basketball world got it's answer before ESPN, Yahoo and Fox could get their hands on it via Iverson's official Twitter account, that he was signing with the Memphis Grizzlies.
It has been rumored all summer that A. I. wanted either Charlotte, NY or Miami to sign him. Reality Basketball sources say that those teams would not touch Allen because of his demand to be a starter.
Now it appears that he has soften his stance on that with Memphis, all he cares about is getting enough minutes. I wonder with O.J Mayo, Rudy Gay and newly acquired Zack Randolph if they will have enough basketballs to go around. It is going to be interesting.
Iverson will get a reported 3.5 million for 1 year and will easily be the biggest draw the Grizzlies have ever had.
