Moore was in Philadelphia visiting with Sixers owner Josh Harris and CEO Adam Aron about reconnecting Iverson with the 76ers. Iverson led the Sixers to the 2001 NBA Finals and is cemented as one of the franchise's all-time great players. He is the franchise leader in 40-point games (76) and three-pointers (885), and is second behind Hal Greer in points (19,931). He had two stints with the Sixers, and last played for them in 2009-10. Moore said there are no immediate plans for the 37-year-old Iverson to retire. "Once he does do that, I want to ensure that Josh Harris and Adam Aron know how much Allen appreciates what Philadelphia has meant to him, what the NBA has meant to him," Moore said, "and to someday come back and be a consultant to them, to help them do certain things."

Yes, Allen Iverson is interested in playing professional basketball again. No, the former NBA MVP and four-time scoring champion is not planning to play in the NBA Development League for the Texas Legends. "Allen, while he appreciates the interest the Dallas affiliate has shown in him and that option was there for him if he wanted to take that route, he's not going to that route," Iverson's manager, Gary Moore, told USA TODAY Sports. "He's going to continue to work very hard to get his mind and his body back to a place where he can help a team in the future — sooner more so than later." USA Today Sports

Moore indicated Iverson may explore opportunities to play in the NBA this season. "Hopefully, one day, he'll get an opportunity to possibly join a team and help a team – come off the bench and maybe give a team some very valuable minutes in this playoff stretch," Moore said. "I'm not a guessing man, but if I had to bet, I would surely feel like Allen is going to try and get himself in shape to return sometime this year." USA Today Sports

Moore said Iverson made mistakes when he tried to come back to the NBA in 2010. "Allen realizes full well why he's not in the NBA right now. … He'd be naïve to realize why he's not in the league right now. He is determined to get his mind and his body right and continue to work," Moore said. "Allen appreciates everything that the NBA has given him and his years in the NBA. He appreciates his fans.

"Allen wants those fans to know it's not within his power to come back and just walk back in to the NBA. He clearly understands that. He understands why and he wants them to know that it's not up to him to just walk back out. He appreciates the love the fans have shown for him. "But in no way shape, form or fashion does he want anyone to think that the NBA is doing something wrong to him by not allowing him back in the NBA. He knows why he's not in there, and he's determined to show those who need to know he's willing to get back." USA Today Sports

Word surfaced Monday that the Texas Legends are in hot pursuit of the former scoring champ and MVP, team sources confirmed to FOXSportsSouthwest.com. The Frisco-based franchise is the D-League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks and co-owned by Mavericks president Donnie Nelson. Iverson would certainly be a draw at Dr Pepper Arena and around the NBA's minor-league circuit. Few players over the last two decades approach the popularity AI enjoys around the world.

The Texas Legends are lobbying Allen Iverson to try work his way back to the NBA by playing for the Dallas Mavericks' Development League affiliate, according to D-League sources. Sources told ESPN.com that the Legends, who are co-owned by Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson, ramped up their seasonlong pursuit of Iverson on Monday, offering him the chance to resurrect his career.

Iverson has likewise resisted the Legends' overtures so far this season -- as well as a similar offer last season -- but sources say that the Legends are trying again now because they've moved back to the top of the list in the D-League's waiver line, meaning they'd have an unobstructed path to signing Iverson if he could be convinced to put his name in the D-League's player pool.

Iverson filed a motion for the judge to recuse herself last month, claiming she has accepted campaign donations from his estranged wife's attorney -- and has a track record of making biased decisions for contributors.

But Allen says he blows a lot on OTHER expenses too ... like $10,000/month on clothes, $10,000/month on grocery/house items, $1,000/month on dry cleaning, $5,000/month on entertainment, $5,000/month on restaurants ... and so on.
