MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Allen Iverson says he has one goal in signing with the Memphis Grizzlies. He wants to win.
The Grizzlies announced they had signed the former NBA MVP and 10-time All Star on Thursday morning minutes before Iverson was introduced at a news conference.
The 13-year veteran was welcomed with a standing ovation in an atmosphere that felt like a pep rally in the lobby of the FedExForum.
General manager Chris Wallace calls Iverson one of the NBA’s all-time great guards. He says it’s a great day for the team, the Grizzlies’ loyal fans and the city of Memphis.
Iverson announced he was heading to Memphis on Wednesday with a statement on his Twitter account.
