Today, one of basketball’s biggest stars – Allen Iverson – appears to have beaten the media to the punch on some major news of his own, announcing via Twitter that he’s signed with the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies.
Earlier this morning, he tweeted “God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career. I met with Mr. Heinsley, Chris Wallace and my next head coach Lionel Hollins” and continued in his next message “I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them.”
The news has since been confirmed by Yahoo Sports, who adds that Iverson’s deal is $3.5 million for one year. Of course, this isn’t the first celeb to break major personal news via Twitter. Last month, Paula Abdul announced she was leaving American Idol via a tweet.
