‘The Answer’-Allen Iverson’s eyes China

Apparently abandoned by the NBA, All-star guard Allen Iverson’s eyes appear to be cast toward the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).

Iverson, who has dropped from the ranks of the NBA superstars in recent years, was contacted by a CBA team last month, according to his personal manager, Gary Moore.

Moore said there is “legitimate interest” between Iverson and a team in China to work out a deal. The team first approached the 35-year-old former NBA MVP last month, but Moore did not mention the team’s name and was vague on details.

The Foshan Liyuan, formerly the CBA club Shaanxi Dongsheng, which changed its owner and moved from Xi’an to Foshan, Guangdong province, this summer, is believed to be the team most likely to sign Iverson, who is also known as “The Answer”.

According to web portal sina.com, an official from the Foshan club revealed during a meeting of CBA club representatives in Kunming, Yunnan province, over the weekend that it has been pursuing Iverson.

However, Zhang Xiong, leader of the Chinese national team and former head of the league office, said he knew nothing about the deal. Another CBA official, who attended the weekend meeting, did not answer her phone when called by China Daily.

Iverson’s agent, Leon Rose, did not return messages for comment either.

Iverson, the four-time scoring champion of the NBA, was let go by the Philadelphia 76ers this March for missing training.

That apparently brought a sad end to his remarkable 14-year NBA career. Despite his travails, he was still voted an Eastern Conference All-star starter last season.

“We’re very astonished, to say the least, that not one (NBA) team has contacted us with any interest,” Moore said. “I just don’t understand it.”

Although his homeland appears to have closed its doors, Iverson, who has a huge fan base overseas, would be a major drawing card in China, and might see a familiar face in another former NBA All-star guard, Stephon Marbury.

Also discarded by the NBA, Marbury played for Shanxi Zhongyu in the CBA last season and negotiated with the club for another 3-year contract to continue his China sojourn this summer.

As the No 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft and a four-time NBA scoring champion, Iverson will undoubtedly make any team more competitive and a potential championship favorite in the CBA.

Off the court, Iverson could reap serious rewards through the marketing of his jerseys and sneakers.

Suffering from an arthritic left knee last season, Iverson played just 25 games for the 76ers but still averaged 13.9 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Moore said Iverson is healthy and working out in Atlanta. “I don’t think he’s done,” the personal manager said.

This can be seen, James is more inclined to take the lead in making their own decisions and left to “join the team” more room for maneuver, Bosh and Wade are determined to James, the choice of destination but more limited.

In fact, regardless of whether James joined the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the combination is enough to make Zhezhi Miami team to become one of NBA’s future oligarchs. Wade led the Heat in 2006 Ones championship, while Bosh has been the best post player in the eastern one. It is reported that Wade and Bosh are hoping to get the maximum amount of the maximum salary contract (not subject to collective bargaining effect), as Miami is only about 43 million salary, maximum salary after signing two (two starting salary will account for about 34 million space), James accepted a pay cut unless otherwise pay the Heat do not have enough space, unless a sign change.

Bosh is not how it will join the Heat on the accuracy of information, he can choose to contract directly with the Miami Heat, or if Toronto wants to change the way a sign to join the Heat. Bosh after the interests of a way for even greater because the old team, signed with the Miami Heat Qianyue ratio and can sign a six-year 125 million contract, which is equivalent to taking nearly 30 million more, and can sign more than one year. Miami is basically just to pay a value of around 17 million trade exception and a second round can be a deal, the Raptors can take advantage of this huge trade exception for transactions. The source said the news from the Union, Heat president Pat – Riley is trying to convince Bosh, hoping that he can as a free agent contract with the Miami 5 years, this way, the Miami Heat and the Raptors can avoid negotiations. But Bosh, I think, is to sign-and-be 6-year contract.

But earlier this week, the news from the Toronto inside look at the team do not want to be a sign with the Heat for the transaction. The grounds that Miami team, there are no players worthy favorite in Toronto. But once the choice to switch to his team Bosh, the Raptors can use the “Dragon King” leave salary after the release of huge amounts of space completely tear down the reconstruction, but also to attract other big names or free agent to join.

“Looking at it, Bosh is the best choice to join the Heat.” Insiders said. In fact the ESPN sports network reported the previous day, the Nets owner Mikhail – Prokhorov Bosh had already disclosed the issue joining the Heat.
