09:02 AM ET 05.27 | The Knicks desperately need guards. Allen Iverson desperately needs a job. But The Post has learned Iverson is one CAA client the Knicks won't pursue, deeming it too big a gamble. The mercurial 76ers great appeared in Philadelphia on Wednesday for his former team's Game 6 against the Celtics and told a national TV audience: "I want to play basketball so bad." Knicks coach Mike Woodson was on Larry Brown???s Sixers staff for two seasons coaching Iverson, 36, who last played in Turkey in 2010-11.

"36, who last played in Turkey in 200-11" says it all.

But would he show up for "practice?"

Being away from the league for two years, he'll need some practice.

It's A Wrap, Bro.

No team is going to sign Iverson. His days of playing and collecting a pay check in the NBA is done and over.

Does anyone actually subscribe to the New York Post or do you just look at it in passing on the street while picking your nose?
