Eddie House said Thursday that he hadn't gone headhunting for Allen Iverson on Wednesday night and seemed to resent the implication by the Philadelphia 76er star that he had.
"I ain't no dirty player," he said. "I don't play dirty."
House, in his first start at guard for the Clippers, provoked a reaction from Iverson that longtime observers said they had rarely, if ever, seen.
Iverson became enraged after absorbing a blow to the head from House while driving to the basket in the second quarter of a 100-80 76er victory. The NBA scoring leader took off after the Clipper guard, only to be restrained by teammate John Salmons, who wrapped Iverson in his arms.
Later, the 76er guard thanked Salmons for interceding because "only God knows" what might have happened if he'd reached House, who was called for a flagrant foul after the officials changed their initial ruling of a two-shot foul.
Iverson, who scored 20 points, said House had hit him in the face in the first quarter, "and I didn't pay it no mind."
"But I knew he was still coming, and I had the easy layup, and then he hit me in the head. I really don't care when guys hit me in my arms, my chest, my leg, anything like that real hard. But when you hit me in my face or my head, it's a different story. It was a hard foul.
"Afterward, he kept saying, 'It was just a hard foul, it was just a hard foul.' Well, it was a flagrant foul, so obviously it wasn't just a hard foul. I just didn't like it. And I wanted to let him know I didn't like it."
House got the message but didn't understand the commotion.
"I was playing basketball," he said Thursday. "I don't care how he took it. It wasn't like I was going after him, trying to do it....
"If he took it like that, that's how he took it. I can't help that. I can't dictate how somebody else is going to take something, you know what I mean?"
He didn't seem threatened.
"That just fed into his ego," he said of Iverson's postgame comments. "I guess he had to say something, like he was really going to do something."
PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson scored 42 points against the Clippers in a 108-93 Philadelphia victory Friday night, but the 76er guard had to work for everything he got.
Iverson was impressed with the young Clippers’ fight.
“They are so young, they just got into the league,” Iverson said about the Clippers, who have eight players on their roster with three or less years in the NBA.
“They might be looking at how I’m just being myself and not trying to copy anyone else’s image. I’m my own man, my own person. Maybe that is the way they want to be in their life, instead of coming into the league and letting the media and people around them give them some type of identity, when they already know what type of person they are.”
Jeff McInnis, who along with Keyon Dooling had the difficult job of trying to defend Iverson, said he can see a difference in the 76er all-star.
“I think we could have done a better job on [Iverson] but the refs kind of took me out early when I picked up two quick fouls,” McInnis said. “But he’s the MVP. I think the all-star game [in which Iverson won MVP honors] gave him a lot of confidence.”

Philadelphia Coach Larry Brown gained his 1,000th professional victory Friday and it came against his former assistant coach at Kansas, Clipper Coach Alvin Gentry.
“I’m happy for Larry, but I wished it didn’t happen against us,” Gentry said. “I think he’s the best coach in the NBA.”
Brown, who has a 1,000-707 record in 22 seasons (four in the ABA and 18 in the NBA), understood the importance of his milestone.
“Not too many people get to be in the league, let alone get to be around as long as I have and have this opportunity,” said Brown, a former Clipper coach. “I said a long time ago that I’m doing exactly what I want to do. I’m pretty fortunate
At the memorable 1986 NBA All-Star weekend in Dallas, 5-6 Spud Webb improbably won the slam dunk contest in front of his hometown crowd over favored Atlanta teammate Dominique Wilkins. The third annual old-timer legends game then preceded the first three-point "long distance shootout" competition.
And fittingly to cap off a fine All-Star Saturday before the mid-season classic contest on Sunday, Celtic long-distance marksman Larry Bird won the inaugural three-point shootout in spectacular fashion.
After being chosen for the event, Bird practiced shooting from the five three-point spots for weeks leading up to the contest, egged on by sharpshooting teammates Danny Ainge and Scott Wedman.
Neither of them were invited to be part of the eight-man field, although both could make an argument they were better long-range shooters than some who were in the competition.
Snubbed, both Ainge and Wedman needled Larry that they should have been included instead of him. Yet Bird would lead the NBA in three-pointers made (82) and attempted (194) that championship season, making 42.3 percent of his triple tries.
Dale Ellis of Dallas, Eric "Sleepy' Floyd of Golden State, Craig Hodges of Milwaukee, LA Clipper and former Laker guard Norm Nixon, Chicago's Kyle Macy (a fellow Hoosier), 6-5 Knick Trent Tucker and Bullet Leon Wood joined Bird. Five of the contestants were relatively small guards, while the 6-7 Ellis was a swingman. Bird was clearly the tallest of the group.
Bird immediately tried to establish himself as the frontrunner when he entered the locker room before the shootout.
"Which one of you guys is going to finish second?" he asked. Only Nixon of the seven other competitors had been an All-Star, so much of the field may have been a bit in awe of the setting and the three-time MVP. And Nixon, an excellent mid-range shooter, was actually a puzzling choice for inclusion.
In his entire career, Norm made just 100 treys as he shot 29.4 percent beyond the arc. The 1985-86 season with the Clippers was his best from long distance, but he still shot just 34.7 percent and made a mere 42 trifectas.
Bird correctly figured Hodges, who would later win the shootout from 1990-92, was his stiffest competition. Wood complained that the red, white and blue ABA "money balls" (a nod to the defunct league's role in popularizing the shot) worth two points were slick and hard to grip.
Actually the American Basketball League, a short-lived pro loop in 1962-63 featuring a Cleveland team owned by George Steinbrenner, pioneered the three-point shot. The ABA picked up the gimmick shot when that league opened play in 1967, and added the popular red, white and blue ball under commissioner George Mikan.
Always looking for an edge, Bird played into Wood's paranoia by grabbing an ABA ball and handling it before agreeing with Wood that it was indeed hard to handle and shoot.
As Larry expected, Hodges came out of the gate firing and scored a whopping 25 out of a possible 30 points. His incredible first round showing is still a single-round record for the event 28 years later. The mark of 25 was tied by contest winner Jason Kapono in 2007 and 2008, but has never been exceeded.
Tucker scored 19 points, Ellis 17 and Bird 16 as he squeaked into the second round. Only the top four scores made it to the semifinals, eliminating Floyd, Macy and Wood (who all tied with 13 apiece) and the jump-shooting Nixon (nine).
Bird started to heat up in the semis by scoring 18 points. "Look at how effortlessly he gets the shots up," noted WTBS commentator Rick Barry. A superstar bomber in both the NBA and ABA, Rick had retired in 1980 and probably wished he could have competed in the event.
At 6-9, Bird had an advantage over the shorter field. He barely got off the ground as he launched his perfectly-arched trifectas and thus burned less energy. In addition, his quick release, fast recovery time and quick hands helped him get off all 25 shots in a minute every time, usually with seconds to spare.
