Allen Iverson returns to them Sixer boys.
The man that made 2001 will always have a place to stay in Philly.
The year was 2001. The place was a railroad apartment in Greenpoint Brooklyn on Manhattan Ave. The feeling was euphoria. I know….euphoria? Really? Yes. The Sixers had managed to slide their way through each playoff match-up through a collection of nail-biting game 7′s which led to the ultimate David & Goliath match-up vs the “undefeated-in-the-playoffs” Lakers. This journey was witnessed religiously with my people Vic, PT, Pablo and myself.
Game 1 was tough but it was ours. I hold that game embarrassingly close to my heart. I have never felt such …….. euphoria watching a game. Heh. It’s true.
It has been a tough go for the Sixers since that 2000-2001 season. This season has been particularly tough but the team has received a peculiar injection of energy. The kind of energy a wife gets when finding out her lovable but abusive husband is returning early from a trip for work. Not really sure what is going to happen but it is sure to be something.
One year contract. Let the sparks fly.
