http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20101121_Iverson_in_Istanbul.html?viewAll=y Iverson is not a sensation here, but rather an exciting curiosity for small pockets of basketball fans, playing for a club that doesn't even compete in Euroleague, Europe's most prestigious. The 76ers' former all-everything guard is broke - by all accounts except his own - and playing here in Istanbul for a number of reasons, none of which is to become an ambassador for Turkey's solid, but often overlooked, professional league. _______________________________________________________________ You are right that Iverson is not broke right now. He just got a $4 million net contract and supposedly the team is paying him $6 million gross which is what an NBA salary is of course. So because of that he's not broke right now. However, according to the Philly Inquirer, he was broke before he signed that contract.
