i hope it works out well for both sides. AI deserves a better end to his career than getting waived my Memphis.

That's what's up says:
wow, congrats Pet Society – no one saw that coming and you were the only one on the planet who predicted it. DIME is sending your “Unimaginable Insight Award” in the mail. dipshit.
AI is going back on one condition…..
PRACTICE???? Man, I ain’t gonna practice….we talkin’ bout practice

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright he’ll get booed out of the gym in a month or he has a revival in his hometown like ben wallace is having. They’re developing a nice young big three in young, igoudala and speights and then they bring in ball hog allen “I need to play 40 minutes or I’m not playing” Iverson. If he averages 8 or more assists while taking 10 to 15 shots things will be fine if not he’ll get dumped officialy

lol thats whats up…
anyway- AI better not complain when lou william starts over him.

quest??? says:
@ mikey i feel the same way
@ hanhs u actually think lou williams is better then AI?

hahns says:
of course i dont actually believe it, but every young team wants to “develop” their young players.
same reason why stuckey started over him in detroit. same reason mike conley started over him in memphis. same reason way lou will will start over him in philly.
you cant escape from the fact that AI dominates the ball. its hard to get an offense flowing one when player dribbles 10-15 seconds of the shot clock. ever play w/ someone like that on the playground? its not that fun

I don’t give a damn if it improves the team or not. It’ll be great to see AI a Sixer again. Period.

@ GEE…
If AI can comeback like Favre then the Sixers will be ridin’ high.

darkdefender says:
AI – if things dont work out for you in Philly, why don’t u come play for my C-league team in Melbourne on tuesday nights?
I guarantee you a starting job, you’ll get 40 mins a night, and best of all, and we NEVER practice!

POPPI GEE says:
Blue you most def. right and aside from all the knocks he gets, the man is talented enough to do it.
I hope his story ends well.

I’m from Detroit and I literally jumped up and down like a f*cking little kid when I found out he was traded to the Piston and you can imagine my disappointment after that debacle. He did this to himself, superstars have a hard time adjusting when the limelight is no longer on them. I’m glad he’s back playing though and he’s still one of my favorite player of all time. que the Cypress Hill “We Ain’t Going Out Like That”

Looks like quest?? is happy again. Remember the time he said ‘daaamn im soooo sad’ because he’s favotite player is gone? Come on guys, the dude looks seriously hurt then, let’s all give him a hug.
About AI:
I really don’t know. So much ‘if only’s have been destroyed by Iverson. Of only he accepted his role in Memphis, etc. Are you telling me I’ll fall for his crap all over again? I’m right on the middle. I don’t think he’ll do anything, but the NBA fan in me WANTS him to accomplish something (playoffs, finally accepts his role, whatever). Keep your head up, dawg. I WANT you to succeed, but I won’t put my money on it.

That Detroit game should be fun. Although AI has said he had no problems with anyone but Michael Curry. I expect Stuckey and Bynum to give him the business.
