Allen Iverson leaving Philly ...

|

He is maybe one of the best players of all time besides Isiah Thomas for his size . He has spent ten years in Philly reaching the finals once before leaving the crown to Kobe and Shaq . He was dealt few hours ago to Denver , a young team with a great scorer named Carmelo Anthony . I really don't know how the mix is going to work , and I have to admit I am feared that AI gets a second part of career he doesn't deserve . I am not seeing him as a role player ...

Prepare to enjoy your upgraded Denver Nuggets in 15 games , once Carmelo will be granted to play . David Stern's decision was fortunately soft ... it's obvious that if it was Ron Artest , it would have been a 30 games suspension penalty at least . Maybe it's a good thing to be sponsored by Nike/JordanBrand ... Maybe it's another good thing to be a member of Team America ... And I am sure that being one of the league's most promising player helps too . There is no NBA justice . Nate Robinson you've got my support !

Enough about that . I gotta to give props to Allen Iverson for being probably one of the most influential trend setters in sports behind Michael Jordan . I wanted to talk about his trade , that marks a new step in his career , and remember his impact . Let's not forget the ten years of AI in a sixers jersey ....

The headband , the extra long shorts he was fined for , the arm sleeve , the WWJD elastic bands , the tatoos , the cornrows , the cru , the mitchell & ness love , the new era caps , the hip hop way of life .... After his rookie year he quickly became the symbol of that "one against 5 - gangsta flavour basketball" . And1 surely took advantage of it , but Reebok can also thank him for the numbers of Questions and Answers sold . It's not even necessary to talk about the amount of Sixers #3 jerseys sold .

Ten years he has been the same . Criticized in his prime by the establishment but always appreciated by the fans and moreover by the youth , he is now a future hall of famer in the making .

AI is basketball 2000 .
