MIAMI(AP) Count the Miami Heat among those interested in seeing what it would take to obtain Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers.

Heat coach and president Pat Riley said Wednesday night that he has a ``level of interest'' in Iverson, a four-time NBA scoring champion whom the 76ers are trying to trade, although it's unknown if Miami is actually involved in any serious talks with Philadelphia about making a deal.

``I would be delinquent in my responsibilities if I wasn't interested in Allen Iverson,'' Riley said. ``That's all I'm going to say. I'm not going to comment any more. It's like when Shaquille [O'Neal] came out there. I was frothing at the mouth. So my level of interest can be gauged on that comment.''

However, would it be a smart move to have two ball hogs on the same team?

Two ball hogs? Well, its not like Wade is Kobe Bryant or anything, if that's who you mean. Personally, as talented as AI is, I just can't see adding him to a veteran team like this that's already been there. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as they say. Miami's struggling a bit now, but I don't believe the answer is to panic and trade for a guy like this.

I know this is a dead deal for the Heat, but two ball hogs?

Come on, man. Antione Walker can get along with anyone, so long as he could go party at SoBe after the game.
