Iverson Open To Playing In China Next Season

Apr 27, 2012 10:30 AM

Allen Iverson will look at China as an option if he continues to be unable to return to the NBA.

Iverson, along with several other former NBA stars, is in China as part of an exhibition tour that will include games against the Beijing Ducks, Shanxi Brave Dragons, and the Chinese U-23 Olympic National Team.

Stephon Marbury, who recently led Beijing to its first ever CBA championship, endorsed Iverson joining up with a Chinese team next season.

“I think [Iverson] will be rejuvenated if he played in China,” Marbury said. “He would love the fans here if he played basketball here. I hope he can feel the love when he plays here in the coming games.”
