RealGM: Basketball Wiretap Archives: Iverson Already Unhappy With Role
Quote:
Allen Iverson is already unhappy with his role in Memphis. He made his season debut on Monday after missing time with a hamstring injury.
Iverson played 18 minutes in the team's overtime loss to the Kings, scoring 11 points.
"I had no problems (with the hamstring). I had a problem with my butt sitting on that bench for so long," Iverson told the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
When a reporter suggested that the Grizzlies' bench needed Iverson's scoring punch, he disagreed.
"No. I'm not a bench player. I'm not a sixth man," Iverson added. 'Look at my resume and that'll show I'm not a sixth man. I don't think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It's just who I am. I don't want to change what gave me all the success that I've had since I've been in this league. I'm not a sixth man. And that's that."
