I heard on ESPN Radio NY that besides Iverson goal to lead the league in assists as a request from coach Cheeks he is also out to gain about 5 lbs of muscle. Apparently he's been working out extensively on his upper body and he damaged something which is why he couldn't participate in Kenny Smith's Hurricane Relief Effort game. Hm, well it's good to see that's he picking up some iron. He is very scrawny and while he shows NO signs of slowing down despite his age, it's good that he bulks up now to help preserve his body for I don't know, maybe an additional 50+ games or so? Nevertheless, always good to see that's he's preparing for the season.
It is good to here AI is making an attempt to add muscle. In the past Allen has said that it is hard to gain muscle to his frame so he was just going to try to make himself more durable. Maybe he is having a change of heart, but I know one thing AI is ready for this season. Don't expect him to "slow" down.
