Iverson returns to his new role as Pistons edge his old team

by Dal on Mar.31, 2009, under News, Recap

83007451AE014PISTONS_76ERS Allen Iverson has heard a lot of negative comments during his tempestuous career. He wasn’t used to hearing them about his toughness, though. Iverson returned Sunday after missing 16 games with a back injury and scored eight points in 21 minutes of the Detroit Pistons’ 101-97 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

After the game, he acknowledged being hurt by media reports that he might not play again this season.

“The one thing that everyone has always known about me is that I’m a warrior—the doctors would say I’d be out two-four weeks, and I’d come back in a week,” he said. “So now I have an injury I’ve never had before—one that was bothering me—and people are suddenly questioning my courage. That was hard, but I know positive stories don’t sell.

At 33 years of  age, Iverson is still tough as nails.  Pistons play the league-leading Cavs tonight.  Should be a good one.

    i think the problem is the coach curry, he should be replaced and not much experienced, joe dumars should open his eyes..

    allen im a big fan of yours, if your not playing and your in the bench i dont watch the game,
    future hall of famer. allen coach curry is destroying your career.

    the best and goodluck

    Please come back to the sixers Allen! We need you bad, and we love you bad. You’re the whole reason I started playing ball. We miss you.
