Talkin Bout Retirement?

Too many critics tend to be silly
Too many frogs go ribbit but never leave lillies...
One of these days when the Slushy Gutter is all dried up and we put the site's alltime favorites up on the mountain, there's a pretty good chance ol' Allen Iverson will be up there. Although he was only in the Powder Blue for less than two years, he for the most part never created too many ripples in the great sea known as the Nugget Ocean. Granted, his shoot-first mentality, lack of team play, and void of anything resembling defense might hinder his legacy in a Denver uni. And that little trade that turned a first round playoff loser into a team two wins from the Finals and brought in a Colorado hoops icon might dampen the memories too.

Now after horrendous stints in Detroit and Memphis, the Answer has gone back to where it all started (no, not starting brawls in Northern Virginia bowling alleys) and resigned with the Sixers.

"Hey Al, here's your gear."

"Yo, this is the same jersey from when I was here in 06'!?"

"Welcome home my man."

"No, this is the same jersey. It hasn't even been washed or anything."

"Like I said, welcome home."


Basketball-wise, seems like it might be a good move with the Sixers mired at the bottom of the conference, lagging in attendance, and their top point guard out. AI might actually infuse some energy and become their go-to guy right off the bat. When does AI 2.0 start in Philly? How convienient- when your Denver Nuggets come calling this Monday. Cheap Iverson Grizzlies jersies are available.
