Video: Allen Iverson Says ‘I Want to Play Basketball So Bad’

His love for the game as strong as ever.

As we reported earlier today, Allen Iverson was indeed in attendance at Game 6 of the Celtics-Sixers tilt in Philly tonight. After presenting the game ball, and getting a huge ovation from the fans, Iverson was interviewed from his seat and declared that he still very much wants to hoop in the NBA.

    This was amazing. Either the blackballing officially ended today or Stern, ESPN and the powers that be know it is over and AI is no longer a threat….hopefully he has one last run for a title either way dude is going down as pound for pound the greatest ever and one of the toughest athletes to ever play. Weather today was the ending, the goodbye or the “Im still around” it was beatiful

    When you see how small he is next to every player in the current roster, and you see his stats and what he was able to achieve as a basketball player it is simply breathtaking, the greatest pound for pound scorer in NBA history.

    @ Fruizm…You ain’t never lied he is stuck in 2004, with that gear, Hahahaha…….

  • markymark

    Cosign coggie13. If Derek f*ckin Fisher has 5 blings, then AI definitely deserves one before he goes for good.

  • DreDay

    AI’s predicament should serve as an example to young players like Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, etc. If you are a pain in the ____ early in your career, owners and NBA brass will tolerate you as long as you have outsized talent. But they will bide their time … and when your skills erode, chomp at the bit to give your comeuppance. Bet AI would love to “come to practice” now, wouldn’t he?

    Pause video at 0:10. Ai is checking somethings out.

    Cameron: And during his ‘leave of absence’ for his daughter, he was found at a nightclub in Charlotte, partying it up and drinking. Not a good look.

  • Antonio

    Allen Iverson must return to thge NBA.

  • robb

    It’s sad to see a man with so much passion for the game not having an opportunity to play. You can see his love for the game in his eyes.

  • IDOT

    David Stern is a straight bitch for blackballing teams from signing him. Stephen Jackson isn’t a boy scout either but teams still sign him and trade for him.

  • msrose

    We miss Iverson so much. Will love to see him play again. He still have millions of fans all over the world that love him. He brings excitement to the game. AI is my all time favorite player.

    Allen Iverson to the Brooklyn Nets!! Deron and A.I. would be a sick backcourt. Respect to Rip Hamilton for confirming what true fans already know (Teammates have an incredible amount of respect for A.I.).
    Check out the new music video, “Allen Iverson Resurrection 2.0 on youtube.
