Allen Iverson maybe play in CBA

After a series of disappointed games in the NBA, the former All-star guard Allen Iverson's eyes appear to be cast toward the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA).

Iverson, who has dropped from the ranks of the NBA superstars in recent years, was contacted by a CBA team last month, according to his personal manager, Gary Moore.

Moore said there is "legitimate interest" between Iverson and a team in China to work out a deal. The team first approached the 35-year-old former NBA MVP last month, but Moore did not mention the team's name and was vague on details.

The Foshan Liyuan is believed to be the team most likely to sign Iverson, who is also known as "The Answer". According to web portal sina.com, an official from the Foshan club revealed during a meeting of CBA club representatives in Kunming, Yunnan province, over the weekend that it has been pursuing Iverson.

However, there is still no any official response concerning the name of team that will sign Iverson, neither the CBA nor Iverson’s agent.

Iverson, the four-time scoring champion of the NBA, was let go by the Philadelphia 76ers this March for missing training. That apparently brought a sad end to his remarkable 14-year NBA career, but he was still voted an Eastern Conference All-star starter last season.

Although his homeland appears to have closed its doors, Iverson, who has a huge fan base overseas, would be a major drawing card in China. Iverson could reap serious rewards through the marketing of his Iverson jerseys and sneakers if he play for teams out of the USA,

As the No 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft and a four-time NBA scoring champion, Iverson will undoubtedly make any team more competitive and a potential championship favorite in the CBA.
