Istanbul, Not Constantinople

Allen Iverson is headed to Istanbul to play for Besiktas of the TBL - that's the Turkish Basketball League. Kate Fagan has that story here. We wish him all the best in his time by the Bosphorus. Orhan Pamuk can be his Nobel Prize winning tour guide. The Four Lads will provide the soundtrack with their 1953 hit "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," later covered by They Might Be Giants and lip synced by Craig Ferguson.
