One game into his stint as a Memphis Grizzly, Allen Iverson is unhappy.

"No. I'm not a bench player. I'm not a sixth man," Iverson added. 'Look at my resume and that'll show I'm not a sixth man. I don't think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It's just who I am. I don't want to change what gave me all the success that I've had since I've been in this league. I'm not a sixth man. And that's that."

Now, in Iverson's defense, I watched the game and he most certainly should have been in the game. He's a better fit for Lionel Hollins' coaching style, which consists of little more than just picking which five players to send in the game, and he would have done more than poor Mike Conley Jr. who often seems to be the only guy on the floor who is actually trying to run an offense.

That being said, the attitude is still depressing. At this point in his career, Allen Iverson is most certainly a sixth man on a winning team. He's perfect for a second unit but he's still too much of a freelance artist to be starting on a legit contender. The success of which Iverson speaks is almost totally individual accolades and certainly not team success. (Although, who signs with the Grizzlies and thinks about team success). I was hoping the Iverson could turn the page and enter the new stage in his career but it seems like he still believes that he is a vital weapon rather than a complementary piece.

A.I. has been one of the most entertaining players of his generation but it looks like his career is going to have an ugly ending.
