La Bomba Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 “I might end up with egg on my face. And if he turns out to be great, I’m not sure anybody will pat me on the back. But there’s no way I wasn’t going to try to get Allen Iverson,” Heisley said this afternoon during a talk with the Memphis Rotary Club. “Allen Iverson will be a big asset to this team. I’m willing to put myself out on this.” While Heisley boasts about the grandest player acquisition in franchise history, Iverson is wrapping up an eight-day Reebok promotional tour in Europe. The 34-year-old former scoring champ continues to have a daily impact on the Griz from thousands of miles away. Tickets sales have increased. Iverson’s No. 3 jerseys sold out in one day, but the team hasn’t stopped taking orders. Billboards befitting Iverson’s stardom are on the way. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/sep/22/grizzlies-owner-michael-heisley-has-high-hopes-all/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
