Allen Iverson is dealing with a different lifestyle in Detroit, one that includes fewer minutes.

"I am just in a better situation now, for me," Iverson said. "Hopefully I get the chance to compete for a championship. That's what it's about for me."

It's been a rough adjustment, but one that the future Hall of Famer is working hard to make.

"It's different. I am not called upon to score as I was throughout my career. It's just a different experience for me.

"I am used to leading the league in minutes every year. This is just something I have to adjust to."
