I just want to praise Iverson for choosing to return to Philly. This has got to be the greatest thing for the NBA and the Sixers. Tickets sales were way down in Philly for years. Most fans upset with the team for getting rid of Iverson. Iverson is now back, and Sixers fans have never been more excited.
I may not be a Sixers fan (I'm a Hornets fan), but being near Philly, I have seen many Sixers games over Iverson 10 years there. He is by far the most entertaining player in the NBA. He has nothing but heart and love for the game, and all he wants to do is play and contribute. Unfortunately the Grizzlies were dumb enough to let such a talent warm up seats for guys who just want to get numbers (Mayo & Gay).
Now thanks to the Grizzlies, Iverson is back where he belongs and where he is appreciated. Philly knows what he could do, and still can do. Eventually he will be taking over games for the Sixers. Just give it some time.
From what I saw tonight, he's loving everything about being back with the Sixers. He made some good plays and setup teammates, the best play coming on an alley-hoop to Sammy Dalembert.
For those of you Iverson haters, I feel bad for you. This guy knows how to play, and has nothing but dedication on the court. He loves playing basketball and all this guy wants to do is win. It's very hard to find players in this league that want to "win" over "getting paid".
