Iverson to return to NBA

By



After brief stints in China and Turkey leagues, Allen Iverson wants to make a comeback in the NBA.

According to an ESPN report, the 36-year-old former NBA star is determined to end his career as an NBA player ... and hopes in the upcoming season, a team will take a chance.

A.I. played just 10 games in an injury-filled stint in Turkey from late 2010 until early this year, after he was unable to find a team interested in giving him a spot on their roster. His latest played in the NBA, during the 2009-2010 season with the Philadelphia 76ers, but left in February, unable to deal with playing a supporting role.

When asked, by ESPN, if he'll still be able to play at an elite level next season, Iverson said: "It's me (laughing). That's what gives me confidence. I know what I can do. Everybody in the world knows what I can do. Everybody knows what I can do on the basketball court."

In his prime, Iverson was one of the most unstoppable forces in the game. During the 2000-2001 NBA season, the baller was named MVP, after carrying his team to the best record in the Eastern Conference with a 56-26 record. He also averaged 31.1 points per game, and took them to the Finals, but eventually lost to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers after winning just one game.

He left Turkish club Besiktas with a leg injury earlier this year, opting to rest instead of surgery. Now, after fully healing, Iverson says he's ready to help any team win a championship.

He just wants a chance to show he's changed.

"Just give me a training camp," Iverson said. "Maybe I've rubbed people the wrong way as far as saying the things I've said in my life and in my career. But if any team needs me to help try and win a championship in any capacity, I'm waiting."

Over the past three seasons, Iverson has played for four teams -- the Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, the Memphis Grizzles for just three games, and one last run with the 76ers.

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

By
She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish .

By
IG BOY BADDIES — like Marcello Alvarez, Rico Hundo, Reek.Ivan, Deven Hubbard, Renzo Dinero, Don Benjamin a Chicago native who we worked with as well and a legit ton of others. From 2019’s Model Peak to a 2025 feed that feels anything but the same. In 2025, only a few still hit at model level — Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. Where have all our quality male baddies gone? UrbanInsiderMag: You came up inside that wave—2019’s model-grade Boy-Baddie peak to today’s crowded feed. In 2025, only a few still truly hit: Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. How does that land with you? Cloutio: It tracks. I started when IG felt scarce and intentional. Now the volume is higher, but there are still guys who keep it special. Ethan and ONE_RALPH have the discipline and the eye—that’s the bar. UrbanInsiderMag: Where have all our quality male baddies gone? Cloutio: A lot of people are posting; fewer are building. Quality takes intention—light, training, taste, pacing. The look didn’t disappear; the commitment...

Urban Insider Takes a Look Inside Hoopstar Deven’s World

By
One of the things I like most about choosing the people I work with, is that I come across the most amazing people with the best stories to tell. Recently I caught up with Mr.Deven Hubbard of Atlanta, GA, he is young and doing it all, if you follow him on IG like I do you can see he dominates the social world all the way to L.A. So it’s no surprise that the photogenic athlete has caught the modeling world’s attention as well, he has an inspiring positive attitude that will serve him well on the successful path he is on. You don’t have to take my word for it, when he tells his own story so well…… Q:Let's start with talking about where you are from for the people who just might be getting familiar with who you are.......... A: For the ones that don't know me as much, I'm from Atlanta, Ga. East Atlanta to be exact! People from my hood mostly just see me as the regular Deven before basketball and everything, some glorify me and also you have those individu...
