About The Daily Hurt »

I got hooked on the NBA from the early 80's when Dr. J, Larry and Magic were the men.

I still looooooove the NBA. Chris Paul is my dogg these days.

I'm a New Media Producer for www.thescore.com Television Network in Toronto.

I also write - mainly NBA, but from travelling and living in Australia(Melbourne), England(London) and Canada(Toronto - or tronna as they say here!) means I follow Cricket, Aussie Rules, Soccer, Tennis, Olympics...pretty much everything...just NOT rugby !

One day, I hope to host NBA TV.

I have a blog - check it out: http://thedailyhurt.blogspot.com/

New Article: Allen Iverson: The Soldier Who Refused Help

published by The Daily Hurt

And so it ends for Allen Iverson. Unwanted and unloved, The Answer for Iverson is retirement. He remains too stubborn for his own good but stubborness is not a strength, it's a weakness. At one time or another, everyone of us has had to accept change..

Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.
