La Bomba Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Less than a week after the Grizzlies introduced Iverson as the most significant free-agent acquisition in franchise history, the 34-year-old guard left Tuesday for Europe on an eight-day Reebok promotional tour. Iverson will make stops in Italy, Poland and Spain before returning to Memphis on Sept. 25. The Grizzlies’ media day is Sept. 28, and training camp practices begin the next day in Birmingham, Ala. “Generally, these tours are not this close to training camp. The reason is this one had been planned so long ago,” said Gary Moore, Iverson’s personal manager. “It’ll work out fine. Allen is looking at this as the beginning of training camp. He’s going to be in a basketball environment and training with professionals most of the time.” The schedule calls for Iverson to work out with a professional team in Milan, make an appearance at the Eurobasket ‘09, which has Griz teammate Marc Gasol participating with Spain, and compete in a three-point shootout in Poland. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/sep/15/allen-iverson-heads-europe-promotional-tour-grizzl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headliner Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 This shouldn’t be much of a concern for fans because it was made clear that he will be working out in various stops and must be exciting for Iverson now that he has a team to play for. Now all he has to do is get ready for this coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
