Allen Iverson Live

According to one source, there has been rumours floating around that Pat Riley and the Miami Heat are interested in Allen Iverson this upcoming season.  If you recall from last year’s free-agency, Miami Heat were one of the top teams trying to sign Iverson.

Apparently, Allen Iverson was seen having a one-on-one chat with Miami boss Pat Riley at Dwyane Wade’s party: Tweet 1, Tweet 2, Tweet 3

For Allen Iverson fans, this is the best news to have come out in a while.  Gary Moore, Iverson’s personal manager, said that Iverson is planning a return to the NBA next season (Source: AP)

“Allen is working out and he’s getting himself prepared to make his return,” Moore said by phone Friday. “He absolutely will try and play next year.”

Iverson left the Sixers to deal with an undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah.

“With God’s graces, she’s doing very well,” Moore said.

“Allen wants to come and help a team win a championship, which he’s completely capable of doing,” Moore said.

Iverson, who turned 35 on June 7, was a four-time scoring champion and averaged 26.7 points in a 14-year career with the Sixers, Denver, Detroit and Memphis.  It’s still possible for Allen Iverson to win a championship at 35.  Michael Jordan won his 6th title in 1998 at the age of 35.
