Allen Iverson May Take His Talents (and Extensive Criminal Record) to China
In what seems like the plot of a straight-to-airplane release of a terrible Disney film, Allen Iverson has refused to let an NBA-wide rejection letter damper his spirits. He'll show the world what he’s made of by plying his trade in China. Juwanna Man and Air Bud have reportedly also been considered for the role of “washed up star trying to make a comeback.”
According to ESPN “Iverson has not been contacted by any NBA team with training camps set to open in less than two weeks. His agent says there is 'legitimate interest' between Iverson and a team in China to work out a deal.”
Yes. The guy who once thought the NBA was too conservative to handle his personality will now emigrate to a nation that once prefaced its name with “The People’s Republic” and routinely jailed random citizens who infringed on their government’s mission statement.
Then again, Iverson has spent two decades claiming that nobody understands him, a notion that should change in an arena filled with people who will totally be able to translate his Chinese character neck tattoos.
