January 10 was the time when Stephenson's contract with the Pacers expired after the two sides signed a 10-day contract, but it was clear that Stephenson's performance conquered everyone, so the Pacers decided to keep him. You know, in these 10 days, Stephenson has 20 points in a single quarter, 14 assists in a single game and other super performances, and he has performed very well when he returns to the Pacers. According to Marc Stein, the Pacers plan to keep Stephenson until the end of the season, which is what many fans want to see.
Stephenson's experience is still very inspiring, after the NBA did not have many opportunities, he also came to the CBA to play in the Liaoning basket, and now returned to the NBA to prove himself, he said that we come from the bottom of the league, is to prove themselves, to help the team to get more victories. Even Pacers coach Carlisle also praised Stevenson, who holds the ball, for being creative and leaving opponents helpless. At the same time, Carlisle also praised the very good partnership between Stephenson and Sabonis, one setting a new personal high in scoring and a new high in assists.
Excellent performance + staying in the team this season is an important step for Stevenson to have achieved success, and his performance and current situation have also been followed and blessed by Iverson.
Iverson said on social media: "Let's dance, Lance! Proud of you, brother.
Pacers officially commented below. Meanwhile Stephenson retweeted: Thank you brother.
Stephenson and Iverson, the two are not an era, Iverson is officially retired in 2013, and Stephenson entered the NBA through the draft in 2010, it is clear that as a "tramp" Stephenson achievements can not be compared with Iverson, but both are inspirational, but also many people's idols, this time the two interacted on social media, can be called a dream linkage.
Stevenson now feels a bit like a prodigal son looking back, and in an interview, he said that he used to make a lot of jokes on the basketball court, and now he only wants to play well after returning. I have to say that Stephenson is really mature now, and I hope that he can have good luck next.
