TEAM USA Basketball
One of the things that we wanted to put together, and I asked Jerry and the staff asked him to do, was to have versatility – guys who can play multiple positions. And whether we are trapping or pressing, I think overall we should just look at it that we would like to play the entire court, both offensively and defensively. And then, how we do that. In other words, there shouldn't be a part of court that we don't play on.

Check out Allen Iverson’s milestones throughout his career from his first points in Philadelphia to his last point at Chicago Bulls.
24368 career points
NBA
Allen Ezail Iverson (born June 7, 1975) is an American retired professional basketball player who played for four different teams (Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons) during 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played both the point guard and shooting guard positions. Iverson was an eleven-time NBA All-Star and won the All-Star MVP award in 2001 and 2005.
Iverson attended Bethel High School in Hampton, Virginia and was a dual-sport athlete. He earned the Associated Press High School Player of the Year award in both football and basketball, and won the Division AAA Virginia state championship in both sports. After high school, Iverson attended Georgetown University for two years, where he set the school record for career scoring average (22.9 points per game) and won Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards both years.
Following two successful years at Georgetown, Iverson declared eligibility for the 1996 NBA Draft, and was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the number one pick. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1996–97 season. Winning the NBA scoring title during the 1998–99, 2000–01, 2001–02 and 2004–05 seasons, Iverson was one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, despite his small stature (listed at 6 feet, 0 inches). His regular season career scoring average of 26.7 points per game ranks sixth all-time, and his playoff career scoring average of 29.7 points per game is second only to Michael Jordan. Iverson was also the NBA Most Valuable Player of the 2000–01 season and led his team to the 2001 NBA Finals the same season. Iverson represented the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal. He also played for the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons and the Memphis Grizzlies, before ending his NBA career with the 76ers during the 2009–10 season.
He was rated the fifth-greatest NBA shooting guard of all time by ESPN in 2008. Iverson officially announced his retirement from professional basketball on October 30, 2013.
Allen Iverson is scoring points in bunches again, which is never a good sign for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Iverson scored 46 points but it was not enough to overcome the surprising Orlando Magic, who got a big game from Pat Garrity in a 110-105 victory.
Iverson reached 40 points for the ninth time in his career and the 76ers have lost eight of those games. He scored 36 points in the second half but the Sixers (1-4) gave away the lead as the Magic -- a team with no stars -- used a balanced attack.
"Every time I score 40, the same thing happens," Iverson said. "So I would rather keep it under 40. I was just playing basketball. My teammates knew I was hot and just kept giving me the ball. Every team does that when a guy gets hot."
Garrity, the last player off Orlando's bench, tied his career high with 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting, mostly from outside. He scored nine points in the fourth quarter, including a clutch 3-pointer that gave Orlando (4-2) a 99-93 lead with 3:25 to go.
Darrell Armstrong had his hands full with Iverson but collected 20 points and 10 assists. He scored eight points in the final period, including a pair of key baskets down the stretch.
"You know when a guy gets confident, he starts looking over at the bench, starts sticking his tongue out," Armstrong said. "That was Allen. He got real comfortable. He scored all those points but still lost the game."
"We didn't play defense. I didn't play defense," Iverson said.
The Magic took the lead for good at 90-89 with 6:02 left on a floater by Monty Williams, who scored 12 points off the bench. Armstrong hit two free throws and Williams made another jumper before Armstrong shook off Iverson for a 20-footer and a 96-91 lead with 4:03 remaining.
Iverson buried a jumper but Garrity answered with his 3-pointer. George Lynch, who scored 15 points, followed in Iverson's miss, but rookie Corey Maggette made a jumper and Armstrong drove for a layup and a 103-95 bulge with 2:28 to go.
Lynch's dunk cut the deficit to 105-102 with 1:01 left but John Amaechi tipped in a missed layup by Armstrong 22 seconds later to seal the win.
"To overcome something like that, someone who was on fire tonight like Iverson, to win a game like that is a good one for us," Garrity said.
Tariq Abdul-Wahad scored 14 points and Amaechi added 13 off the bench for Orlando, which shot 51 percent (44-of-86) from the field and committed only 11 turnovers. The Magic's bench held a 59-25 scoring edge.
"I wish I could tell you it was me, but I can't," magic coach Doc Rivers said. "It's all about what they are doing and it is nothing about what I'm doing."
Rookie Todd MacCulloch had 10 points and 12 rebounds and Eric Snow handed out a season-high 10 assists for Philadelphia, which shot 47 percent (43-of-91) and held a 47-40 edge on the glass. The Sixers were without injured big men Theo Ratliff, Matt Geiger and Tyrone Hill.
"How many teams in the league play without their front line?" Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "We have not even practiced with the guys we are playing with. We give ourselves a chance to win every game and I think that's a positive."
"When we get Theo back we can get guys playing their normal positions," Lynch said.
Iverson made 18-of-33 shots, including 5-of-6 from behind the arc. He scored 37 points in Monday's win over Seattle but had more help from teammate Larry Hughes in that game. Hughes was held to seven points after collecting a career-high 27 against the SuperSonics.
"He came up big for us," Lynch said. "We just needed some guys to play a bigger role offensively. We did not get that tonight."
"He played great, he gave us a chance to win," Brown said. "I think he has got to improve defensively but he gave us a second chance to win. He was phenomenal."
The defending NBA scoring champion, Iverson was on fire in the third quarter. He collected 22 points over the final 8 1/2 minutes, sending Armstrong to the bench with foul trouble and scorching rookie replacement Chucky Atkins.
In a 74-second span, Iverson made a 3-pointer, a 22-footer from the corner and another 3-pointer, giving Philadelphia a 74-71 lead in the final minute of the period.
"I think that is the hottest I have ever been in my career," said Iverson, who made nine straight shots at one point. "That is the hottest ever."
Iverson and the Sixers got off to a slow start as the Magic opened a 18-6 lead on Armstrong's running jumper just over five minutes into the game. But Philadelphia closed to 25-24 after one quarter without any help from Iverson.
MacCulloch's layup gave the Sixers a 41-31 lead with 5:14 left in the second period but Garrity scored eight points the rest of the way as Orlando closed to 47-45 at halftime.
Toni Kukoč (pronounced [kukotʃ]; born September 18, 1968) is a retired Croatian professional basketball player. Kukoč was renowned for his versatility and passing ability; although his natural position was small forward, he played all five positions on the court with prowess and demonstrated court vision and an outside shooting touch that were seldom found in players of his height. After a highly successful period in European basketball, Kukoč was one of the first established European stars to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Having been drafted by the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1990, he continued to play in Europe, until finally reporting to the Bulls in 1993, when the team had just finished its first three-peat and had lost Michael Jordan to retirement. While disappointed at the time that he could not play with Jordan, Toni made his NBA debut on November 5, 1993.[4] although Jordan returned to the Bulls in March 1995.
The 6'11" (2.11 m) Kukoč came off the bench in 1993–94 behind small forward Scottie Pippen and power forward Horace Grant, though Kukoč could play shooting guard and center as well. Kukoč put up a solid rookie campaign, averaging double-digit scoring and earning a berth on the All-Rookie Second Team.
On May 13, 1994, at the end of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Bulls and the New York Knicks were tied at 102 with 1.8 seconds left. Bulls coach Phil Jackson designed the last play for rookie Kukoč, with Scottie Pippen charged with inbounding the basketball. Pippen was so angered by Jackson's decision to not let him take the potential game-winner that he refused to leave the bench and re-enter the game when the timeout was over. Kukoč did hit the game-winner, a 23-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, though the Bulls eventually lost the series in 7.
After Grant left in the offseason, Kukoč moved into the starting lineup and finished the 1994–95 season second on the Bulls in scoring, rebounds and assists behind Pippen. Furthermore, Michael Jordan would return to the Bulls in March, granting Kukoč's wish to play alongside him.
For the 1995–96 season, the Bulls were bolstered by both Jordan's return to full form and the offseason acquisition of exceptional rebounder Dennis Rodman. With Pippen still at small forward, coach Phil Jackson saw it best to have Kukoč continue to be a bench player. Kukoč was third on the team in scoring (behind Jordan and Pippen) and was rewarded for his efforts with the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. He also assisted the Bulls to a 25-game turnaround and the best record in league history at 72–10, as well as the fourth championship in team history. Kukoč is currently the last player to win the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award and the NBA title in the same year.
In 1997 and 1998, Kukoč again came off the bench as sixth man as the Bulls won their fifth and sixth NBA titles. Once again, he was the team's third-leading scorer.
In early 1999, the team was broken up, and Kukoč was one of the only players from their championship years that the Bulls retained. In the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season, he led the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists. During the 1999–2000 season as Chicago continued their rebuilding scheme, Kukoč was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for whom he played briefly before he was soon traded again to the Atlanta Hawks. After a short stint with the Hawks, he finally found himself in a more suitable fit with the Milwaukee Bucks via a third trade.
