Allen IversonThis isn't going to be the "sports blog", but since that is one of my interests, from time to time I am going to imitate Stephen A. Smith...
Last night Allen Iverson returned to Philadelphia... but, not in a 76ers uniform... It's been a year and a month since he was traded to the Denver Nuggets... and since he's been traded... the 76ers have not posted a winning season or been even close to being in the playoffs... To add insult to injury... ticket sales have slumped since he left... Do you think we miss him? Just a little bit?Allen dropped 38 points on the hapless Sixers who lost to his Nuggets 109-96.
I am a guy who always sees the glass as half-full, rather than half-empty... The Sixers have an upside... they have a good young team that if kept together, will one day return Philadelphia to the elite of the NBA. For those of us like me, who may not have much time to wait for that (I was 25 in 1983 when the Sixers last won the NBA Championship and I'll be 50 in a few months) here is a note to the Sixers... Please, follow Boston's example and get one, maybe two veteren players WHO CAN PLAY right now... not two guys who used to be good that nobody wants anymore... (Chris Webber anyone?), mix them in with that young nucleus you have, and let's take an NBA title before I lapse into senility... PLEASE!

Amen to that Brother!
Hey Pop-Pop,
Is Sporty Sportston any relation to Footy Footston?
