That’s right, The Answer, the guy who broke MJ not once but twice, is on the verge of a $2 million, one-year contract to play basketball in Turkey. And it’s obviously not for the money. Two mill won’t even cover the entourage he’ll have to fly to the Middle East to make sure he stays even remotely happy and comfortable in downtown Istanbul.
So I guess it’s because Allen just wants to play basketball, but can’t he do it somewhere that makes a bit more sense, like France, China, or even a pick-up league in Harlem?
Apparently the biggest hiccup in the deal is a stipulation coming from the Iverson legal camp (Iverson never goes anywhere without a lawyer by the way) over how much he can be fined by the league for misbehaviour and whatever else he has planned. Iverson wants no more than 1% of his salary, or $20,000 per fine. Wise move by The Answer, but it must make the Turks a little nervous to legally bind their hands like that.
Is it just me, or does this whole thing reek like a potential reality show.
