After the Dallas Mavericks’ NBDL affiliate Texas Legends reached out to Allen Iverson in an attempt to lure the former star back into the NBA, the iconic basketball player has respectfully declined the offer.

“I thank Donnie [Nelson] and Dallas for the consideration and while I think the D-League is a great opportunity, it is not the route for me,” Iverson revealed on Twitter. “I realize my actions contributed to my early departure from the NBA, should God provide me another opportunity I will give it my all.”
