I hoped to get called a little earlier but through this whole process I?ve been thinking, this is the place where I would like to be and that this is a team used to winning. The city is great, the town is knowledgeable of sports. The football team over there with Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens, got AI over here, got the Phillies, got the Flyers, so this is a good sports city and I?m just happy to be here. The town?s used to winning so I know we?re going to win some games. And a lot of rookies when they come into the league, they?re used to winning a lot of games and then they go right to losing, to a bad team, but I think here, I?m going to keep that winning tradition going and try to make the team better.?</div></div>

    The guy just doesn't look like a ball player... You're right, DA3, he does look like a boxer... lol They should tell him about the 'cons' about playing in Philly. You're going to get slaughtered by the fans if you do bad.

    I read somewhere that he is a track star learning the game of basketball or something like that. I guess along the lines of bringing in sprinters to play WR or CB in football. Hopefully he is a quick learner or he will get burned in this city. But hopefully it works out an he an Ivy can bring a championship ta Philly [​IMG].

    Iggy is great, he's an athlete and he can rebound, what more do you need to go with Iverson?? His scoring touch will improve slowly at first the he might burst or not improve at all but I can gaurantee this guy will develop into a better scorer.

    When Iguodala was working out with different teams they said his jumper looked better and he has been saying he has been practicing it.If he is dedicated then we will not have to worry about his jumper,because he will practice it if he knows he needs to.

    I like this guy, they say he is a triple doulbe threat every game he plays in. But i heard this guy's shooting touch is just a...how do you say...in a 'lil' need for improvement. He has a great strategy tho, he'll feed AI the ball and let the rest take care of itself, LOL JK
