It took two games, but Iverson doesn’t like reserve role
by Dal on Apr.02, 2009, under Uncategorized
Allen Iverson is unhappy coming off the bench for the Detroit Pistons — it took two whole games for the veteran guard to fume over his new role, the Detroit News reported.
“How many minutes did I play?” Iverson said after he scored 11 with three turnovers in 18 minutes against the Cavaliers Tuesday night. “It seemed way, way, way less than that. Eighteen minutes? Come on, man. I can play 18 minutes with my eyes closed. It’s a bad feeling, man. I’m wondering what they rushed me to get back for? For that? It’s a bad time for me mentally.
“I am just trying to get through it without starting a whole bunch of nonsense,” Iverson said, after initiating the conversation about his playing time. “I’m looking at the big picture. If I vent my frustration then it’s like, given who I am, I’ll be the one everybody points the finger at. I am just going to try to laugh to stop from crying.”
