Force MD’s – ‘Tears’
Allen Iverson’s return to the Association in his original home in Philly was underwhelming. His timing was off and his energy was diminished due to his lack of, er, practice. Oh what sweet irony must taste like. Iverson will eventually regain the timing to play at the level that his body can sustain but will that be adequate for him to remain in Philadelphia? I wish Iverson was using this time as a tryout for Cleveland and, or Boston.
11pts for 38 minutes is not how I want to remember Allen Iverson.
On another Iverson note… Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee said in his new book ‘Personal Foul’ that players like Iverson, Rasheed Wallace and Ron Artest were targets of the refs for personal discipline that the Association had not meted on these players. Donaghy is successfully putting the league’s officiating on blast.
Is it possible that these games are no longer competitions but simply exhibitions?
