I'll wear it. I hope he goes well in Denver. But I wish to show my appreciation of his career in Philly
dsounG is dead, and Iverson is just traded, and we get a rememberance thread for Iverson but not dsounG?

I appreciate what Iverson's dones for the Phildelphia Sixers, but I think this is a bit much... He was simply traded, that's all. And honestly, what did Allen do for the Sixers (other than undoubtedly boost merchandise/ticket sales) franchise that hadn't been done before he got there? He's really boosted his OWN stats, and proven himself to be a future Hall of Famer. But he didn't win a Championship (and certainly won't in Denver), so I'm curious... Especially now that no one's faulting him for ultimately lying to his fans in Philly, when he said he'd "remain a Sixer for life".... I guess I just don't see the point in a "remembrance thread" for a player who was simply traded... It happens all the time. If he had died, well then I'd post it as my avatar, because that's something completely different.I like Iverson, don't get me wrong. Each to their own I suppose.

I suppose Karl Malone and John Stockton didn't do anything for Utah, or Ewing for New York. The fact of the matter is Iverson busted his ass for 10 years in Philadelphia. He did whatever it took to win. If they could have put a decent supporting cast around him he'd still be a Sixer, and he'd have a ring or two. But he didn't, and when a player does so much for a franchise and the franchise does so little for a player, it's time for a change. And who's to say he won't win a chip in Denver. He has a great shot.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Noah @ Dec 19 2006, 04:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I guess I just don't see the point in a "remembrance thread" for a player who was simply traded...

He's scored nearly 20,000 points for one franchise. He's been in Philly since 96. How often does such a great player who's been with a franchise for so long get traded. The last time that happened was with Shaq.

Barkley, Pippen, Shaquille, Wilt Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, etc. Want me to go on? It's nothing new... People get traded (hall of famers, all-stars and supporting players) ALL the time. It's the way the game works... Very RARELY does a player remain on the same team his entire career, Reggie Miller and John Stockton notwithstanding. I see what you're saying... But tell me why no one is faulting him for lying to the Philly fans when he said he'd never request a trade... You'll most likely blame it on King or the the franchise itself... And I can't argue that point. But Iverson's always been about Iverson, as this trade demand has proven. He'll get his place in the Hall... In the record books, etc. but he will NOT... Will NOT, win a Championship in Denver. I guarantee it.
A) What happened to dSoung? I don't understand the concept of using an AI avy, but if these guys feel its necessary, more power to them.

You want everyone to KNOW, Pacers fan forever supports AI as a Sixer. :dribble: But hey, that's just me.
