Its looking like it. Allen Iverson who was unable to ink a deal in the NBA, then was connected to a deal in China, is now closing in to a 1 year contract with Besiktas Istanbul worth 2 Million Dollars and Bonus payments.
"Iverson wants to play for us in Istanbul" , said Besiktas General Manager Seref Yalcin in an Interview. He is going to fly to the US this friday, to talk to Iverson and he is very optimistic and confident about him signing with his club.
Even Iverson´s Agent Gary Moore was quoted : "We are in very seriou negotiations with Istanbul, and as far as what we have seen, Istanbul is wonderful. Allen wants to play again."
Its looking like the all-time 17th NBA scoring leader (24.368 pts.) is going to leave the US for the Bosporus. It would be the biggest NBA Star to ever play European basketball.
