Iverson is getting in on the action of planning exhibition games during the lockout for the pros to play in. Except Allen is taking it a step further and making it a two day event, tournament style:
Iverson is working with the Justice Entertainment Group on the four-team Las Vegas Superstar Challenge slated for Nov. 12-13 at the Thomas and Mack Center.
He is to appear at a news conference Wednesday to announce captains and players for each team.
Iverson has been out of the NBA since 2010 and spent part of last year playing in Turkey. He was the NBA MVP in 2001, when he led the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA finals.
