Breen is making it sound like Iverson didn't demand the trade.

Iverson came out the day after the trade and said he didn't demand one.

Allen Iverson says he never demanded a trade, but he's sure happy he landed in Denver.

In his first interview since the Nuggets acquired him from the 76ers, Iverson told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith on Wednesday, "It's a great feeling. I'm just glad the whole process is over. I think I'm just put in a situation where I can succeed."

Iverson took exception to the perception that he went into Sixers general manager Billy King's office and demanded a trade almost two weeks ago.

"I went into a meeting with Billy and I had expressed my frustrations," Iverson said. "We had lost 12 of 14 games and something wasn't right. I told Billy King we couldn't win with this style. I didn't directly say, 'Trade me -- I'm ready to go.'"

The four-time scoring champion, seven-time All-Star and 2001 league MVP said he told his teammates about the meeting and told them he "loved them."

But he said the Sixers had to know that, "If they didn't change what was going on so that we had a chance to win, I thought they should get rid of me."

The time surrounding his discussion with King and the weeks after were especially difficult.

"From the last month I didn't feel appreciated at all," Iverson said. "And I still feel that way to an extent. I just knew that any team I went to they were going to appreciate what I can do on a basketball court."

Iverson repeatedly thanked his fans for all of their support, but he appeared relieved to be leaving the Philadelphia sports pressure cooker.

"I love my fans in Philadelphia, but this is the hardest place in the world to play in," Iverson said. "And I think it's the hardest place to play in to be a superstar. Just to be the No. 1 guy. All eyes on you -- because everybody wants you to be perfect, but not themselves."

From his conflicts with coaches to his brushes with the law, Iverson wasn't ready to trade his time in Philly.

"It was a great experience for me -- the ups and downs -- because I became a man in Philadelphia," he said.

Iverson is scheduled to make his Nuggets debut on Friday in Denver against the Kings. The Nuggets were holding out hope that he could play in Wednesday's game, but a snowstorm not only kept Iverson in Philly, but it also forced the postponement of the Nuggets' game against Phoenix.

I'll find you articles where Isiah said Larry Brown asked for the Francis and Rose trade. You belive Iverson cause he doesnt lie?

We're exploiting them on the inside.
Whats up man! Long time.


Whassup! I've been around. I replied to one of your posts on the game thread a few games ago but there were so many posts that day... I believe that was on fight night LOL.

I'm just watching these Knicks get down before they get up, as always.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

No doubt. They'll continue to improve. They just have to keep on hustling.

Yeah, Balkman!!!

Stevie's getting beaten off the dribble. He has to get the rust off- quick.

Lee hasn't been able to get the same positioning either- he's getting boxed out of his comfort zone where he grabs those boards.

Defensive effort is decent-- it's the offense that's sputtering big time. Hope the guys have enough in them to eek out one more.

Hopefully if the Knicks can hit a few outside shots, they'll get their energy back and get going already. Slow start but at least it's still relatively early. I'd like to see Marbury try to get to the line and make things happen.
"It was good," Curry said. "I killed Malik, Jerome. The usual suspects. It felt good."
