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?

Silver, I was responding to the origional post stating how Breen was making it sound like Iverson didn't demand a trade. There is apparently another side to the story. What I believe is irrelevant. Now that situation is he said, he said. We'll never know what the truth is.

And did you just give a backhanded compliment to LB?

Anyway.....


So MiLf is the flavor of the day today?

Yes she's hot.

Don't worry we'll come back and make it a game with 3 minutes left to go in the fourth.

We know the truth, you just dont want to believe it. You dont need to see something in print to know what happened.

My first half thoughts are as follows:

Wake 'em up, Zeke.

Well, if it's one thing that the 2007 Knicks have taught us so far is that the first half doesn't really count. Here's hoping Zeke is lacing into them right now and waking them up b/c this is the Sixers that just lost 12 straight games.

No...I know the truth....The truth is Kelly Ripa is hot.......for someone who used to be a man!j/k

I'm not trying to prove a point Silver, just posting information.
Hhaha!! sensitive area.
Please never mention anything about a "sensitive area" again.

I can't get too upset about the game so far. Our key players have been playing an average of like 45+ mpg for the past 3 games and are on the second night of a back to back. They look like they're just out of gas.

Steph seems to have forgotten what his role is.

I know he's tired, but we need him to be more aggressive. We need both him and Curry to score a good amount in the 2nd half if we're going to take this game.

"This is a very cautious situation that we're in. You have to be conservative in terms of using your assets and using them wisely. We're building for the future." - Zeke (I guess not protecting a first round pick is being conservative)

The bright side is I have nothing new to complain about.

The bad side is I can still complain about everything I have been complaining about all season.

Marbury appears to be very disinterested. Something tells me he doesn't like playing with Francis. What's funny is until Marbury's recent good play Steve was playing a little better than him. I still feel this team is very suspect and the fortunes of this team probably falls ultimately on the play of Marbury.
