Hall of Famer Allen Iverson says the practice of resting healthy star players during the regular season reflects a new age in the NBA and would have been a big problem between him and his coach when he played.Its different to me, said Iverson, speaking to ESPN before the broadcast of Friday nights Los Angeles Lakers-Philadelphia 76ers game. I never thought anything like that would happen. A guy like myself would compete night in and night out -- tired, hurt -- you know what I mean? It doesnt matter. But to each his own. If it helps those guys and helps their team, then so be it.The topic became a flashpoint earlier this week when LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love stayed behind in Cleveland as the?Cavaliers?traveled to Memphis for the second night of a home-and-road, back-to-back series against the Grizzlies.It would have been a big problem, said Iverson, who once gained notoriety for repeatedly asking why reporters were asking him about practice in a news conference -- to the tune of repeating practice dozens of times. It would have definitely been a big problem. We would have had it out. And hopefully I would have come out on top.Its a strategy San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also has employed in recent seasons and something that Houston Rockets coach Mike DAntoni earlier this week called on the NBA to examine, saying it wasnt fair for fans who had spent time and money in an effort to see the rested stars play.Iverson was a headliner in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fames 10-member Class of 2016 that was inducted in September. ?He was presented with his Hall of Fame jacket by fellow Sixers legend Julius Erving at halftime of Fridays game, a 100-89 loss for Philadelphia.He addressed the fans during the Wells Fargo Center ceremony and made another reference about his approach to resting games.I would never, ever, ever sit out a game if something wasnt broke ... I knew youd want to see me, Iverson said.Iverson also earlier discussed the role of fashion in todays NBA during the ESPN interview. Iversons casual dress habits were widely regarded as the impetus for a once-enforced dress code that mandated players to wear suits in public.Listen, man. I cannot believe they changed the dress code for me -- and the stuff I see these guys walk into the arena wearing, Iverson said. Oh my god. You know what I mean? I just cant believe it. Now that I know they were picking on me. They had to be. Cause this is bad. Its bad, man. Its bad. Shaun Hill Jersey .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration.

Former middleweight world titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., out of action since July 2015, is returning to the boxing ring, and hes eyeing Canelo Alvarez down the road.Chavezs father, Mexican legend Julio Cesar Sr., was in attendance at a news conference Wednesday for the announcement of his sons 10-round fight with Germanys Dominik Britsch, which will take place on Dec. 10 (beIN Sports Espanol, 11 p.m. ET) at the Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, Mexico.The bout is contracted at 170 pounds, two over the super middleweight limit.I am very excited to return to boxing, Chavez said. In my return, I wanted a rival of the level of Britsch. Surely, it will be a great fight for the fans. My absence of the ring for (more than) one year was because of several factors. I fractured my hand (and had surgery) and then there were questions about promoters and television networks. But all that is behind me.Chavezs troubles are no secret. He has had a DUI arrest, missed weight multiple times, showed up at fights in less-than-optimal condition and was in a protracted legal fight with co-promoter Top Rank over his contract. Chavez left Top Rank, signed with adviser Al Haymon and litigation ensued. Finally, Top Rank took a seven-figure buyout and the case was settled.In his first fight after the case was settled, an out-of-shape Chavez faced Andrzej Fonfara in April 2015 and quit on his stool after the ninth round. Chavez returned in July 2015 and missed weight, but he won a 10-round decision over Marcos Reyes.The 30-year-old Chavez (49-2-1, 32 KOs) has reunited with former longtime co-promoter Zanfer Promotions and will return to Mexican network Azteca for the fight with Britsch (32-2-1, 11 KOs), 29, who has won four in a row. Britsch was scheduled to challenge super middleweight world titleholder Gilberto Zurdo Ramirez on July 23 on the Terence Crawford-Viktor Postol undercard in Las Vegas, but the fight was canceled when Ramirez toore a tendon in his knuckle.ddddddddddddAlthough Britsch is in front of him, Chavez rekindled talk of a fight with countryman Canelo Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs), Mexicos biggest star fighter. Chavez said he would be willing to go down in weight to meet Alvarez at a 164-pound catch weight. Chavez has not been below 167 pounds since he lost his middleweight belt to Sergio Martinez in a one-sided fight in September 2012.Alvarez, a reigning junior middleweight titleholder and the former middleweight world champion, fought his middleweight bouts at a catch weight of 155 pounds and returned to 154 pounds in September. He knocked out Liam Smith in the ninth round to win another junior middleweight title. Alvarez intends to move up to 160 pounds for an eventual fight with unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin, which is being discussed for September 2017.But several years ago, there was a lot of discussion and fan interest in an Alvarez-Chavez showdown, when they were much closer in weight.It would be a fight for the people, for the Mexican public, Chavez said. I imagine they want to see it. I do not know if there is a lot of interest, but I think it might be attractive. And on the weight, I think it would have to be negotiated. I can make 164 pounds for Canelo.Chavez, who held a middleweight world title from 2011 to 2012, said he also wants to win another title.My goal is to fight in one or two fights for a world championship, he said. I want to be a champion again, but if there is a major fight with Canelo, with Golovkin, of course, I would take it.Britsch said he plans to ruin those plans.Chavez Jr. has the ideal style for me, he said. He goes straight ahead, does not take care of his defense and gets hit with everything. Besides, he is slow. It will be a great fight and I will win. ' ' '
