Iverson is still looking for a team. Just recently he opted to check out offers from a team in China and sources say that he rejected an offer of $4million for the season. Right now Allen Iverson doesn’t have too many offers, especially in the NBA. Maybe he’ll find the answer soon. Similarly, Stephon Marbury is doing great in China and coming back for another season. Great career move that he made a couple of years back.

CHINA 81 – GREECE 89

China stuck in the game until the end of the 3rd quarter. After the half, China was only down by 10 and in the 3rd quarter made it as close as a 3pt deficit. However, charged by big three’s from Greece, it put them up late. In the last quarter it was Greece all of the way, but China did not resist. Big performance by JI but it wasn’t enough to pull off the upset.
