Iverson introduced in Turkey, talks about practice

Beşiktaş Cola Turka put on quite a show for fans last night in formally introducing their highest-profile acquisition ever in Allen Iverson.

Check out Mr. Answer getting chummy with dealmaker/club GM Şeref Yalçın in the video below the break. Iverson notes in a brief question-and-answer at the end of the presentation that he attended his first practice yesterday. (Insert your own “practice” joke here.)

If Iverson is serious in stating — as he has often reiterated recently — that the most important thing about his Turkish contract is appreciation, he’s certainly happy early on. A.I. may have gone to an NBA championship, but he’s never seen devotion like this.

    All that Iverson stuff is interesting, of course, but still waiting for Frank’s Euroleague Week 3 column… I already got used to that nice reading in two weeks and habits are hard to die .

    “Practice joke”? You mean like, that’s also the last practice he’ll be attending? 😉

    Joking aside, I hope he’s still got enough in the tank to bring excitement to his team. He really didn’t look good in the NBA last year, but I want to believe in him!
