Tomorrow One-Year Anniversary Of Iverson Trade
 |
The 76ers are 10-14 and are playing better recently, but they still don't have Allen Iverson. The Answer now plays for a team who even has better looking jerseys, the Denver Nuggets. (The 76ers need to go back to these or something like them.)
Anyway, Jasner has all these awesome details like, uh, Christmas shopping.
Andre Iguodala and Kyle Korver remember that they happened to be in the same store Christmas shopping when Korver received a text message that the deal had been made. "I showed it to Andre, and he was like, 'Really?' " Korver recalled.
The Rocky Mountain News talked with Iverson about how the trade remodeled both teams, much like when the 76ers for some reason traded away Wilt Chamberlain.
And here's the money quote!
"If I was still in Philadelphia, I don't think they would be in the predicament that they're in right now," Iverson said. "The way the East is, I would think that we would be right there in the hunt. . . . I look at (Philadelphia's) games right now, and it looks like a rec league game or an AAU game when you see the attendance there. It just looks dull."
So while Sammy D gets 16 and 12 against the rec team from Locust Bar, the Denver Nuggets are first in the Northwest Division. Sounds about right.
Elsewhere: The 700 Level notices AI's wearing a Colorado Rockies hat. Ugh.
