Tonight’s the night!  Ticket sales are sky high.  Philly is electric again.   Everyone is pumped for the little fella to come in and have an historical evening.  And wouldn’t it be awesome if Iverson unloaded 50 points on his former team?  Do I think he can do it?  Yes.  Do fans?  You betcha.

The 76ers have lost nine in a row, so can it get any worse? It can only get better from here, and with “The Answer” back a lot of the fans think it definitely will.

Fans still think the former league MVP can play at a star level, and the player definitely thinks he can

Well obviously Iverson thinks that he can. He’ll think that when he’s 75 years old. Just like Michael Jordan still thinks he can compete. But you gotta respect that about a man.  Personally I wasn’t sure a team would give him a shot but I’m very curious to see what he can pull off tonight and for the rest of the season.

Realistically though, can Iverson have a Brett Favre type triumph?  Who the hell knows but it’s gonna be fun watching him hoist up shot after shot while Andre Iguodala gets really really pissed.  But come on man.  Iverson, Iggy, Brand, Thaddeus, Dalembert?  How is this not a good team?

Watch out though little man.  According to last night’s 60 minutes, former scumbag ref Tim Donaghy was quoted as saying “referees don’t like Iverson.”

Prediction on tonight?  26 pts on 10-26 shooting, 6 assists, 4 TO’s, 2 steals.

P.S. The only reason I hope he kicks ass is because he’s on my fantasy team. Thanks.
