Talking David Beckham apologizes to teammates for wearing Iverson jersey..

Quote:
David Beckham didn't let his Real Madrid team-mates' sensibilities get in the way of him turning up at training on Friday clad in a replica basketball shirt of Alen Iverson, one of Spain's Olympic tournament conquerors.

Iverson notched 16 points as the United States knocked out the Spanish 102-94 in their quarterfinal match on Thursday.

Beckham was quick to apologise to both his team-mates and journalists after they remarked on his choice of attire — Iverson's black Philadelphia 76ers top.

I know Team USA is out of Gold contention, but I found this just now and found it pretty funny. Also it shows how big Iverson's celebrity is, we're talking about one of the most popular athletes in the world wearing Iverson's jersey.. that's big.

I wish they had a picture to go along with this short piece.

Good stuff.

Great, since it's true that Iverson is one of the more recognizable bball players in the world.

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

that's ridiculous, he shouldn't have to apologize for what he wears. if it was a team USA - Iverson jersey then it would be comprehendable, but it was a sixers jersey, so what if Iverson was on the team that defeated Spain.
