That team is hamstrung by management with their heads so far up their collective asses that they've wasted the greater part of Allen Iverson's career by not surrounding him with a decent f*cking team. The best they could do over the years is surround him with washed-up, inefficient scorers. I mean, this guy's a 5-10 ball-dominating guard, and they surround him with guys like Glenn Robinson, Keith Van Horn, Jerry Stackhouse, Toni Kukoc, and a post-microfacture Chris Webber. BTW, when Philly traded for Webber's monstrocity of a contract, that should've put to rest right then and there any notion that AI was the one causing any kind of problems in Philadelphia. Kyle Korver, Andre Iguadala, one-legged Chris Webber, and Samuel Dalembert... Yeah, there's a lineup that had potential.



Oh really? If Philly has known "for years" as you say that AI is a "dying prospect" then why the hell didn't they trade his ass years ago? Better yet, why didn't they trade him this past summer instead of waiting until mid-season? Loose cannon? All he's done is given that team a reason for people to watch their games, an MVP season, a finals appearence, and a career that will be remembered for ages. Loose cannon my ass.
