dude, if u absolutely have to make our eyes bleed with all caps

at least use the all caps button. when you hold down shift you make apostrophes (’) into quotation marks (") and look even dumber than the normal dumb when people use all caps

i care(d)

all i wanted was another memorable press conference like “practice!?” and i got it with “ima just tryin to play basketball. (sniff sniff)”

just hope he sells out for the rest of the season and everyone in the world buys 2 of his jerseys and the sixers make enough money to get both lebron and wade during the offseason

just a heads up EL

we have a lot of quality writers that contribute to the site here … and im not hatin on the topic of this fan post or saying you can note write… just try to over look your post a few times before you submit something … we tend to be jerks if it looks like were reading the opinion of a small retarded child … but yea i agree that throwing this up to talk about is fair game because any real philly sports fan knows who critical and important iverson was to us … im excited for him to come back and i think its a win win for ticket sales and what he can bring to the rim … the problem i think people have is they are used to the iverson of old who dropped 40-50 point games … and because thats what they were used to seeing before , thats what their minds are expecting today … i am not …i expect him to contribute 10-20 point games

Well i picked up on basketball all by myself, my family was always huge Eagles fans and we had season tickets at the Vet, and everything but they didnt really watch much of the Sixers. When we moved to L.A, all the city talked about was the Lakers, and like they always are back then they were winning. My first trip to the Forum and i knew i wanted to be a Laker fan. And yea it was horrible to watch sports back then with all the losing but i just look at like its gonna feel so great whenever it is we actually win the Superbowl.

Yeah thats what im saying when the birds get it i want to be able to say that i was a true fan, even if im in a nursing home! haha! and yo know i probly would have given into the lakers also with that arena they have but yo look at that dallas cowboys stadium yo only if i didnt have a team! those fans got the best as far as a stadium huh! peace my new bro and thanks

But hes 9 years three teams, retirement removed from those great years. Hes still a good scorer but mostly on jump-shots, back then he would be attacking on every play, now its mostly jumpshots which shot by a 6 foot player is easily a dependable shot. He’ll get his 15-20 points a night but his play making ability wont be the same.

what about speed your correct in all those other areas atleast i agree there you think his speed mix with maturity in the game could help he might be a better set up guy or pass more these days hmmmm i might have put my foot in my mouth hhhuh fellas!

heres the site

http://www.libertyballers.com/

With that said – I would definitely try and make it to a game if Iverson came back. I had his jersey at one point but once he left Philly I kinda stopped following basketball. Its always been Eagles before anything and then the Phillies. It would be a good thing for him to come back to the City of Phila though.

The Furby is no longer the hottest toy of the holiday season? Holy shit, what else did I miss?

Allen Iverson is ridiculous. Is there even a professional basketball team in Philly? File this one under “who cares?”
