What a load of shit.

It is entirely unsurprising that Allen Iverson didn’t play at the Big 3 event in Philly last night, but the announcement came just hours before the game was scheduled to start, well after fans had already entered the building for the four-game affair.

Iverson announced on Instagram that he wouldn’t play, but – problem – no one told the fans in the building, who chanted “we want AI” as word slowly got out that he was just going to stand on the sideline, or baseline, or whatever the fuck they call that back line in the Big 3.

After the game, Ice Cube, who runs the league, admitted that they pretty much knew all along AI wouldn’t play, and he even responded to Amy Fadool:

So if Iverson was told not to get out of bed (which sounds extreme), then he and Cube at least knew about this before yesterday, and yet… no announcement until the building was filled. Wonder why.
