NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The lights were dim and the crowd was wild. It was a fantastic NBA moment and a fantastic time to be a Philadelphia 76er fan. In spite of losing and having no future, for just one small moment, you had it all. Allen Iverson’s name went over the loudspeaker and the fans roared their approval.
Ahh, it reminds me of my Detroit Lions on draft day. All things are possible, but few things are probable.
Can Allen Iverson lead the 76ers to victory in the NBA? Not tonight and most likely not on many nights. We are still waiting to see if the tank is full or half empty. Age is always a factor in sports, well, except for Brett Favre, but didn’t he retire?
Allen felt at home and seemed for a while to bring out the best in a star free lineup, until they eventually wore down and lost to that all time great team the Bobcats.

The NBA is thankful as one of its former proud franchises now has a legitimate fan draw. How powerful a celebrity is Allen Iverson?
Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, Leonard Weaver, LeSean McCoy, and Todd Herremans were courtside. So was boxer Bernard Hopkins. Reporters from Italy, Japan, China, and Yahoo overflowed the press tables.
A day after watching Atlanta make its peace with fallen hero Michael Vick, it was just plain cool to witness Iverson running out to midcourt and kissing the Sixers logo after being introduced. Say this about him: Iverson knows how to create an unforgettable moment.
“It was a million percent the best,” Iverson said. “I had chill bumps running all through my body the whole game. It just felt good to be back. . . . I feel like the fans here appreciate me. They appreciate my effort and how I come to play every night. That’s all you want as a basketball player. That was the best part of the night, hearing these people’s voices all over again. It’s kind of bittersweet, because I wanted to win so bad regardless of whether I played well or not.”

Ok, so his math is not so good. The 76ers certainly do not pay Allen Iverson to do mathematics. What do the 76ers pay him for anyway? The Electricity!

NBAObsessed will always be an Allen Iverson fan come heck or high water, even though he put the final nails in my Pistons coffin last year, it did not matter, because it was Allen Iverson the little guy that always plays big.
