Iverson: I Will Play 6 More Seasons

Allen Iverson's contract expires at the end of the season, but the future Hall of Famer still plans to play six more seasons in the NBA.

Iverson, who has taken a beating throughout his entire career, will be 39 in 2014.

"I know you guys have put me in a rocking chair already," Iverson said. "When the time comes and we have a game and you put that scouting report up and my name isn't one of the first or second names on that scouting report and I can't dominate like I used to, then I don't want to play no more. I won't do anything to tarnish my legacy."

Brand: Clippers Game Isn't A Grudge Match

76ers' forward Elton Brand claims that Friday night's battle with the Clippers won't be a grudge match against his former club.

"There's nothing really to talk about," Brand said.

There have been reports that Brand and Los Angeles Coach Mike Dunleavy have yet to speak following his surprising departure from the team via free agency.

"I do want to have a good game, and I do want to win," Brand said. "We have to protect our home floor. That's where my focus is."
