Fenerbahçe Ülker, 74-67: Beşiktaş, Iverson lose again with fourth-quarter stall

Allen Iverson remains oh-for-Europe after his first TBL game with Beşiktaş Cola Turka, a 74-67 loss to Euroleague squad Fenerbahçe Ülker. More distressing for Beşiktaş was another disappointing fourth quarter: The Eagles entered the last stanza tied at 53, only to be outplayed and outscored by Fenerbahçe, 21-14 over the final 10 minutes.

In general, Beşiktaş’ high-profile backcourt tandem of Mire Chatman and Mr. Answer was outdone by their Croatian counterparts on Fenerbahçe. Neither Eagle bothered making a three-point attempt at all and combined for just 2-of-12 shooting and seven points (Iverson contributed just two on a single bucket). Meanwhile, Roko Ukic and Marko Tomas teed off, going 5-of-7 on threes.

And here’s a view from the stands:

Meanwhile, The Philadelphia Inquirer ran a story on Iverson’s early going in Istanbul with, one can’t help thinking, a bit of a sour grapes tone. Among the excerpts:

“The 76ers’ former all-everything guard is broke – by all accounts except his own – and playing here in Istanbul for a number of reasons, none of which is to become an ambassador for Turkey’s solid, but often overlooked, professional league …

“A member of one NBA front office, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the subject matter, said that prior to last season, a member of Iverson’s family called to inquire about a contract for Iverson, explaining that Iverson owed that person money and would be unable to pay without a contract.

“A similar source explained that Iverson is broke, plain and simple.”

Beşiktaş Cola Turka plays BG Göttingen in Germany on Tuesday night, the second game of the 2010-11 Eurocup campaign.

    heres a video of AI’s 2 points against Fenerbahce last night – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJEfWI3KQ34
    in the post game interview, Besiktas’ coach said it was planned that AI would only play around 20 minutes, and that these minutes will slowly increase over time and he start to be more involved in the plays that are drawn up.

    in other Turkish and European basketball news, Fenerbahce have signed Sean May.
