Standing before his Staples Center locker with bemused frustration on his face Friday night, Iverson downplayed the various controversies caused by his comments during a tumultuous first week in a Memphis uniform.
Iverson returned from a torn right hamstring on Monday and immediately said he didn't like coming off the bench. He also insists nobody told him the Grizzlies were in rebuilding mode after a 24-58 season.
Coach Lionel Hollins says he has no problem with Iverson's pointed words, and he doesn't intend to have a special chat with the 10-time All-Star.
