reportedly is broke and wants to play in the NBA again – he has told teams he would even be willing to play in the Developmental League to work his way back. But Iverson might have another opportunity to play pro ball: of the indoor soccer variety.

Reportedly Iversonn, the former NBA MVP and scoring champion, has been offered an unusual but lucrative deal to play indoor soccer with New York state’s Rochester Lancers.

The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) team said it is offering Iverson $20,000 a game with a $5,000 bonus for every goal he scores, plus win and merchandise bonuses. More than 12 goals per game are scored on average in the league.

“Allen Iverson is one of the premier athletes of our time,” said Lancers vice president Rich Randall. “With his athleticism and competitive hunger, I think he can be a great fit with our team and fans as we make an important playoff push, while also driving interest to an exciting, growing sport.”

The Lancers only have two regular season games left before the playoffs. They added a bit more incentive by saying they would host Iverson’s family and friends anytime they come to visit. Iverson has made no indication that he would be interested in playing soccer and reports say Iverson has been considering playing basketball in Puerto Rico. Iverson played both football and basketball when he attended Bethel High School in Virginia. There’s no record of him playing soccer.

A CBS News report last week suggested the former longtime 76er may be broke, despite earning about $154 million in NBA salary during his career.

Obviously this is just a publicity ploy by the Lancers, but if Iverson can make $40K to play in two soccer games, one would think he would do it!
