Why?

Post by jiminphilly »

Iverson again? Why did an already shit franchise, on the road to a lottery pick, bring back a player that has the capability of improving this team marginally and thus decreasing their lottery balls?

You really have to ask?

Iverson is a Sixer legend...


Think "butts in the seats."

I would have laughed at almost any other team signing him -- but with Philly's current situation, it's a perfect fit (financially, anyway).

Because bankruptcy is looming for all but about 8 franchises in the NBA right now and keeping the franchise and league afloat is a little bit more fucking important than a couple of lottery balls at this point in time.

Philly sold out the building last night.

Your "why" question was just definitively answered.

Well that was short lived..

Iverson’s return generated a short burst of excitement, but not wins. His box office appeal is already lukewarm with only 12,795 fans listed to watch a slumping Sixers team.

There were over 20K in attenance for his return and the paid attedance is back to pre-Iverson levels.
