inia turned it over against on the next drive after marching inside the Richmon

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.Authentic Custom Brewers Jersey .

Wholesale Custom Brewers Shirts . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Kyle Lauletta and Richmond believed they had a legitimate shot in their game against Virginia, even though the Spiders play in the Football Championship Subdivision and the Cavaliers are in one of the Power Five conference.But even Lauletta never expected the Spiders to dominate.They did Saturday as the senior threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns, the defense held Virginia to negative rushing yards heading into the fourth quarter and the Spiders rolled to a 37-20 victory, spoiling Bronco Mendenhalls debut at Virginia.When we can run and pass like that, were tough to beat, the redshirt junior said.The Spiders outgained Virginia 524-302 in winning for just the third time in 33 meetings in the series.

The offensive line had little trouble handling Virginia up front and Lauletta makes good decisions, can make all the throws and extend plays with his feet. Staying healthy will be critical.VIRGINIA: The defense struggled mightily in its first game in Mendenhalls 3-4 alignment. There were numerous missed assignments and missed tackles galore. The Spiders moved the ball at will at times, and Lauletta was hardly ever bothered by pressure. What little he faced, he usually sidestepped it pretty easily.BAD STARTRichmond scored twice before the Cavaliers ever ran an offensive play from scrimmage.
