Philly fans demand hard work and 100% effort on game day in EVERY sport.
AI gave this in every game I have seen him play. If these are his final stats
in a 76'er uniform I have to say thank you for being all that we demand of
our players.
If Billy King and the front office had worked as hard as AI,there would be
more banners in the arena. Everyone has an opinion and mine is quite simple.
When you have someone as gifted and great as Allen Iverson you would think
someone could pull the strings to surround him with the talent to complement
his. The end result, more Championship seasons. I really believe his draw over
the years is all they cared about. They had one of the best players in the
NBA, he made them money, end of story. I am still a Philly fan I believe in the
blue collar kick ass on game day theory. I am still an Allen Iverson fan, he
gave his 100%.

[Tommy]

One, if not the best little man to ever play the game, I mean no one can argue that and if you do, then obviously you don't know basketball or hate him. AI is a freak of nature athlete that only comes around every generation. The way he plays fearless as a FORWARD, plays most of his game among the TREES and gets to the line amongst the league leaders every year at 5'11 170lb is astounding. I was priveleged to be able to watch him and his entertainment over the years and now his time is done with the Sixers and wish him well wherever he goes. I hope he wins a championship somewhere else that gives a damn. Too bad Billy King and the Sixers org (Hockey Man) Snider never surrounded him with even a remotely good supporting cast his whole tenture here. Even though they didn't win in the finals in 2001, I'll never forget the run AI made practically himself, one of the best one-man performances I've ever seen in the playoffs. You definetely need two great players to win a championship and a good coach.

Jordan, Pippen - Phil Jackson
Shaq, Kobe - Phil
Shaq, Wade - Riley
Duncan, Robinson - Pop
Hamilton, Wallace, Billups etc etc - LB

I hope he goes to Minny or Dallas. I think he has a shot with Garnett or Dirk, I think AI compliments either of them well.

Thanks for the memories and great entertainment over the years Allen.

[PETEY/PETE]

Allen is Philly and fans like me are not gonna be to happy . Sixers are 27th in the League in attendance if they trade Iverson thats just the beginning.
I dont think they get close to equal value. Making a trade will set the franchise back 5 years or more. They have some good young talent but so does everyone else. If they trade iverson it will be devastating to Philadelphia fans.

[Teaser5]

I hope he ends up with the Clippers with Brand.

Iverson is one little tough SOB when I have seen him play.

[Tommy]

It's hard to see him go, but he wants out and finally realizes he can't win with the joke of players he's being sorrounded by. I hope he ends up with a good team to show all of his critics and haters that he's capable of playing somewhat team ball with talent around him.

AI is always in the top 10 in assists every year and that's passing to slop every year.

It bothers me how the Sixers management is handling all of this. They are making it all like AI is the scapegoat and they aren't in the wrong at all which is totally false. AI does some stupid shit, but the management has done nothing about it for 11 years, so the blame is all on them as well as not bringing in any talent to play with him. If a washed up Webber was an attempt, then thats just awful.

The Sixers need to be completely blown up now and that starts with selling the team to an owner who gives a shit and GM who knows basketball.

[Tommy]

Here is what Minnesota Timberwolves owner said yesterday.

"I just think Allen Iverson on any team probably makes it better just because at any time, he's hard to stop," Taylor said. "You get towards the end of the game, he's a difficult player to stop. If you had some other guys around him and a guy like K.G. around him, it gives you some strong options at the end. He's a very unique player. A guy like him, (Phoenix's Steve) Nash, maybe (New Jersey's Jason) Kidd, these guys are very creative and probably would be helpful to almost any team with any combination around them."

I think if it can work out he'll be in Minnesota.

A rumor of Foye, Griffin and Ricky Davis for AI is what I'm hearing now.

I know they probably can't get much, but I would not like this deal for the Sixers...I'd rather get a draft pick or 2.

[Tommy]

I hear there is a good possiblilty that AI gets traded to the Indiana Pacers on Friday after free agents are eligible to be traded. That is the hold up I hear.

The trade would be Tinsley, Jackson and Daniels for AI.

I do not like Jackson or Tinsley, this would be a bad trade for the Sixers even though I like Daniels but we already have Iggy and Carney, no need for Daniels.

[PETEY/PETE]

I dont like any deal they all suck and the rest of them will suck no win situation for Sixers.

[Tommy]

Excellent Article from Bill Simmons from ESPN on AI.

"Dont Question the Answer"

Forget the Bad Press, Allen Iverson is One Thing Only: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Superstar.

[Tommy]

Miami in the trade talks. LOL

Shaq, Wade and AI would be nasty. If they could co-exist, mind as well hand them the title. I really think AI would change his game for Shaq and a great shot at a title, plus he would respect Riley and listen to him.

AI would most likely have to become a "point" rather than a 2 for it to work.

If he commited to that role, Shaq was healthy and motivated in the playoffs, they would breeze right by the Eastern Conference.

IMO, it won't happen because Miami has little to offer the Sixers, but you never know.

[Teaser5]

I heard a rumor last night he could end up with the Clippers

Considering all the deals offered, and teams' reluctance to grab Iverson, it appears only one solution to this entire mess will suffice:


Time for 76ers to bring back Iverson, reconcile and try trade again.


Then at the right time, for the right offer, send him packing and make both sides happy

[OLD HEAD]

Not a bad idea Miklos. You see how they treat AI and then you look at the turmoil in the rest of the league and it makes you wonder who the real culprit is. All AI wants to do is win. Wow what a concept,a Pro player who wants to win!
