LOOKING TO TEAM UP IN

2014

 ALL-MET ELITE 

Former NBA star Allen Iverson, known as the Answer, is coming to town with a band of high-flying streetballers and ex-pros for clinics, campus/mall tours and a “real” game to be played at the Mall of Asia Arena on Nov. 5 for the benefit of Gawad Kalinga.

Iverson, 39, will coach the pick-up squad and not play. But a source said if he gets the urge to lace up, there won’t be stopping the Answer who averaged 26.7 points in 914 NBA regular season games from 1996-97 to 2009-10. The six-foot guard from Georgetown University was the NBA’s MVP in 2001 and led the league in scoring in four seasons. He was also voted MVP in two All-Star Games. On the court, Iverson was often unstoppable with an unreal ability to find ways to score from different angles and spots.

Aside from the six streetballers, Iverson will bring in former NBA players. There is no confirmation as to who will be added to Iverson’s squad but high on the invited list are 7-0 center Eddy Curry and 6-3 Steve Francis. Curry, 31, was the Chicago Bulls’ first round pick in 2001 and has played in 11 NBA seasons with the Bulls, New York, Miami and Dallas. Francis, 37, was the Vancouver Grizzlies’ first round pick in 1999 and played in nine NBA seasons with Houston, Orlando and New York.
