Iverson's Debut Tonight

The Answer's first game with The Nuggets is still on hold since Andre Miller has not been able to leave Denver due to the Snow Storms. If Miller arrives in time to Philly and passess his physical early enough for AI to dress up for Denver we will get a chance to see what the future brings for the West. Expect AI to be a little passive during the first quarter or so, then this dude will get his.. I predict AI will dish out 9 assists, get 4 steals and score 27 points.

This is the begining of a new era in Denver professional sports. An Era that will soon lead to tittle contention. Good luck AI....You deserve to play for a real team and a real coach.

I read today that the Sixers will brong back Larry Brown for some front office duties. Billy King (the worst GM in pro sports) has finnaly admitted he can't do his work. For the team's sake, I would fire both King and Cheeks and name Larry Brown head coach, GM,Team President and ball boy.

SADDEST DAY IN SIXER HISTORY

THE SADDEST DAY IN SIXER HISTORY.

DENVER HAS THE ANSWER.


Yesterday at about 5:30 PM I became a Denver Fan. I went through a roller coaster of emotions. After loving the sixers for the last 11 years, the best little man to ever play the game was traded to Denver and so were my dreams of an Allen Iverson led championship in Philly. As sad as it is, I am feeling better today. AI goes to a real team with real coaching and ownership, team with two superstars that have a chip on their shoulder.

During the Iverson Era, the sixers were my life. The first thing I did every morning including during the off-season, was read the Philly papers online (I’m from Puerto Rico). I know everything there is to know about the sixers. I know a lot of their fans, the media and the organization. Now it’s off to Denver…Let’s see what happens.
A few thoughts on Billy King before I focus on Denver.

Billy King: Worst GM in Professional Sports
You are a liar and seem to not really understand the game. For the past 5 years you have done everything you could do to kill this team. The fans hate you and you will be out of a Job soon. You should have fired yourself a while ago. Thanks for the Huge Dalambert Contract, the Huge Korver contract, The trade for a one legged C-Webb and for signing Kevin Ollie a million times. Thanks for trying to make us Believe Willie Green was the next AI, For bringing the best Assistant Coach Ever Mo Cheeks, For firinf Jim O’brien, For being Larry Browns pet and for doing nothing during last summer when you knew this team sucked. Thanks Billy…Thanks

Now…..
GO NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you say Western Conference Champs…Maybe not yet. Contrary to what ESPN experts are saying, with AI the Nuggets can compete with the West’s Elite. Amare will get injured soon and Dallas and San Antonio can’t guard both AI and Melo… I will keep you posted.

GREAT JOB BILL SIMMONS

ASIDE FROM THE ARTICLES I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT AI, BILL SIMMONS HAS WRITTEN A MASTERPIECE FOR ESPN.COM...I TOTALLY RECOMEND IT....
HERE IS AN EXCERPT.


There's another aspect to Iverson's brilliance, something the ESPN guys tried to describe last night: Quite simply, he's the most menacing player in the league. There's just something different about him, a darker edge that the other stars don't have. Once I was sitting midcourt at the Fleet Center when Iverson was whistled for a technical, yelped in disbelief, then followed the referee toward the scorer's table and screamed, "[Bleep] you!" at the top of his lungs. The official whirled around and pulled his whistle toward his mouth for a second technical.

GOODBYE AI




THOUGHTS ON THE IVERSON TRADE




END OF MANY DREAMS

AI will be gone soon and so will the dreams of many of us who have loved watching the best little man the NBA has ever seen.
If you are a true Iverson fan you probably feel the way I do. You know how hard it is for him to leave Philly and how much he loves his teammates. If you have been there since day one, you understand that this is much more than a player switching teams.

On the night the 76ers drafter Iverson, a new era began. The Iverson ERA… The small franchise player that took the city and the league by storm did everything from breaking Jordan to having five 40 point games during his “rookie of the year” season. He was known for not loving practice and for shooting a lot but his heart and determination were never questioned. He was almost traded a couple of times; once to the Pistons and a couple of times to the Clippers. He was the League MVP and led his team to the finals in 2001. He fought publicly with Larry Brown and was team USA’s leader in the 2004 Olympics.
That said, Iverson’s departure will mean more to me than people will ever understand. Am I a Philly fan or an Iverson fan? Will I root for the team that trades for AI?



Iverson leaving will mean forgetting the hopes of an Iverson led championship for the City of Philadelphia. It will mean that AI will not retire as a Sixer, something he always wanted to do.
Today I hate the 76ers administration more than ever.
Thanks Billy King for killing this team.
Thanks Billy King for not surrounding AI with enough talent to compete.
Thanks for lying to us about “changing the culture” of the team.
Billy and Ed Snider should fire themselves.
