Allen Iverson and his former coach Larry Brown exchanged some nostalgic words today through the media after the US beat Puerto Rico in Jacksonville today 96-71 without their co-captain.

?They broke a team rule and we are a team,? Brown said. ?They paid the penalty. Nobody wanted to embarrass them, and now we?re moving on.?

Iverson claimed he ?couldn?t have been more than five minutes late.?

?I?m the captain on the team and to be suspended just for being a couple of minutes late just doesn?t sit well for me,? he said. ?I?m supposed to be one of the leaders of the team, and this is not a good look.?
