Iverson parts with Super Shot game over playing time
Just days after officially leaving the Memphis Grizzlies, Allen Iverson has now parted ways with the Super Shot basketball game at Dave & Buster’s, citing a lack of consistent playing time for his decision.
“I was in there rollin’ cats up on the Super Shot and somebody comes up tryin’ to say I gotta step aside and let some little kid play or somethin’,” Iverson said on Wednesday. “I’m like ‘Is he for real?’ How you gonna ask an MVP to step aside and let somebody else play? How many scoring titles do these little bad ass kids have? They ever been to the Olympics? The whole thing was really disrespectful, so I got the hell outta there.”
According to one Dave & Buster’s employee, Iverson wasn’t rolling cats up at all and had actually lost at least 30 consecutive games to six different players. Eventually, the employee stepped in to suggest that Iverson just go home and stop embarassing himself.
Kapono already tired of being called ‘our new Korver’
Jason Kapono has only been a 76er for two days now, but has already grown tired of being called ‘this year’s Korver’ and ‘our new white guy that mostly just shoots threes and does little else’.
Kapono and former Sixer Kyle Korver may be the same age, same height, same weight, same position, same catch-and-shoot three-point-shooting style, same first letter in their first name, same amount of NBA experience and same complexion but that’s where the similarities end. Kapono is a two-time NBA All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest winner, won an actual NBA title with the Heat in 2006 and is currently tied for first with Steve Kerr for the highest career three-point percentage in NBA history at .454.
“We’re overjoyed to finally get our hands on an outside shooter again,” said GM Ed Stefanski. “I just want to make it clear that the Korver comparisons are unfair, though. He’s more like the bizarro Iverson . . . not all that fast, but can shoot his ass off.”
