Who was it last year who decided that they were a starter an refused to come off the bench, even though they were injured? I remember them going off and putting on a different jersey, but me and my brother can't remember who it was. Thanks.
I was indeed Allen Iverson. As for the jersey situation, that was blown way out of proportion. He was implying wearing those casual throwback jerseys that he often wears. He was not boycotting against the 76ers in any way or form. Just a board journalist that ?speculated? that Iverson was demeaning a trade for wearing a Bucks (throwback) jersey.
anyone care to elaborate more on this issue... I haven't ever heard of this.. can someone fully explain what happened?

Iverson didn't like that, telling the coach that he was "a starter" and wasn't going to play off the bench. He then went off to the changing rooms and changed into a throw back jersey, although that was apparently taken out of proportion
