Bankruptcy attorneysare intrigued to note a new development taking place in the sporting world, one that will affect both basketball and soccer. Allen Iverson, the former NBA All Star point guard, has been offered to stage an on-field comeback – in indoor soccer.
Shocking
Allen Iverson, in recent times, had expressed a desire to return to the game of basketball. But because of his ego, he rejected an opportunity to play with the Laker’s practice team. Bankruptcy attorneys are not sure why he would not take up the Lakers on their offer but then juggle the thought of playing indoor soccer.
Allen Iverson: Delving into His Intentions
It looks like the reason behind Allen Iverson’s desperation lies in his bank balance, which is in tatters. He owes over $850,000 to a jeweler and he has been recently been ordered by a judge to pay back the money. Iverson had got in touch with several teams to forward his candidature but none showed any interest.
No Hands
During this time, the Rochester Lancers, a Major Indoor Soccer League team, showed more than just a passing interest in the aging ex-Philadelphia 76ers player. Iverson has been offered a spot on their team for a whopping $20K for every game with an additional $5K for every goal. Well, Iverson is extremely fast; that type of speed cannot be taught. Can he transition from a game where hands are allowed to a game where hands are not?
What choices?
Allen Iverson had been known to excel in basketball and football during his high school days, but never soccer. He is a great athlete but at 36 years, can his body rise up to the grueling physical challenges of the game? Meanwhile, bankruptcy attorneys wonder if Iverson will secure this offer – after all, this money can help him pay off his dues.
