Could Iverson Crossover to China?

Gary Moore, Allen Iverson's personal manager (not to be confused with his agent, Leon Rose, who would actually handle this kind of move), says the star is considering taking the road recently traveled by Stephon Marbury and hooping it up in China, since no NBA teams have invited him to camp yet. Due to his small stature and fearless, frenetic play, Iverson has always been a crowd favorite and the NBA is huge in China, so this could be a savvy move, earning Iverson millions more dollars and, potentially, millions of new fans. It would also be ironic that a man who's never wanted to conform could find happiness in a land where authoritarianism rules. If a team signs him, they'll probably require him to practice and that hasn't always sat well with him. We hope it happens because you can't spell "Shanghai" without 'ai.'
