Iverson Already Complaining About Playing Time
Published by MoonDog on November 4, 2009
It only took one game for Allen Iverson to voice his displeasure with the number of minutes he received during the Memphis Grizzlies 127-116 overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
After missing the first three games while recovering from a partial right hamstring tear, Iverson played only briefly as a reserve, scoring 11 points in less than 18 minutes.
He said he had no problems with his hamstring, but had a big problem with the playing time he got from coach Lionel Hollins.
“Go look at my resume and that will show you that I’m not a sixth man,” Iverson said. “I don’t think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It’s just who I am. I don’t want to change what gave me all the success that I’ve had since I’ve been in this league.”
Rudy Gay
Iverson’s comments couldn’t have come at a worse time. On Sunday, Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo had to be separated after getting into a shouting match toward the end of the Grizzlies 133-123 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Gay’s contract status might have been weighing on his mind. On Tuesday it was announced Gay will become a restricted free agent this summer after he and the team were unable to strike a deal before the NBA’s Monday deadline.
