Allen Iverson Misses Flight To Turkey

AI was supposed to fly to Europe on Friday but missed his flight, causing Besiktas to delay its press conference. From Philly.com: “Former 76ers star guard Allen Iverson was scheduled to depart for Istanbul, Turkey today. Iverson signed a 2-year/$4 million deal last week. Just now, while waiting for Doug Collins at the Wells Fargo Center, this news came from Twitter. From @ismailsenol: ‘Besiktas Cola Turka’s Allen Iverson missed his flight to Istanbul and his arrival delayed to Monday.’ And then this a few minutes later: ‘Besiktas board announced that they delayed the big public press conference to a further date.’”

    and naturally, with the first fail-proof situation he gets in years, he fails in the one possible way.

    The think about missing flights though is that the rules about boarding times changed a decade ago, and he’s for certain taken flights since then. Maybe he’s been given passes on domestic lates, but this being an international, they wouldn’t take the chance. Maybe he just thought he could get on because everyones always let him, assuming he made it before it actually took off.
