Live on NBA TV for anybody that has it. The press conference gave him a standing ovation the second he walked in.

The city of Memphis presented him with a blue guitar to welcome him to the city.

GM Chris Wallace says Iverson has "many, many years left in him," and he has "the eye of the tiger." He finished with, "Other teams make it to the finals, why not us?" That was also met with thunderous applause.

Iverson's first question was a real hardball; "Allen, do you run your own twitter account?"

Iverson: "Hopefully this is my last spot" (cue applause)

Iverson: "Everyone wants to start. Who wouldn't?" (cue applause)

Best line of the press conference from Iverson: "I think differently than what different people think."

The Griz presenter announces, "Rodney Stuckey wasnt going to give up #3 to Iverson last year, but he's got #3 here in Memphis, and you can pick your own up form the team store right now!" as if that was some sort of merit badge.

I liked the part where Memphis still had a basketball team.

That was great.

They should be excited, what else have they had to look forward to?

I hope he does well there.

I called him a ball hogging selfish player before he got here. I never had to flip flop my opinion either since he lived up to it and still does. With that in mind, i'm not bitter about AI being AI. Starting + the most shots = leadership in his world.
