Allen Iverson has agreed in principle to a US$4 million, two-year contract with the Turkish team Besiktas. He is expected to officially sign with the club this weekend and will begin his overseas career the week of November 8.
"He's ecstatic," Iverson's manager, Gary Moore, said. "He's very excited, very happy the people in Turkey want him, the people in Turkey appreciate what he brings to the game, and he can't wait to get over there."
Iverson turned 35 in June and had wanted to keep playing in the NBA. Bobcats coach Larry Brown, who led Iverson and the Sixers to the finals in 2001, called Iverson's situation "sad" earlier this week.
"What he's accomplished, I don't think you want to see him end his career this way," he said.
The 2001 NBA MVP has been out of work since leaving the Philadelphia 76ers in March to deal with family issues.
Iverson is 17th on the NBA's career scoring list with 24,368 points over a 14-year career with Philadelphia, Denver, Detroit and Memphis.
