Yeah, we’re back.
The Champ sits here in his home writing this in anticipation of tonight’s game. The Octagon is now here, good to see him. We’re still waiting on the arrival of The Franchise, and The Custodian is MIA.

On Allen Iverson
November 26, 2009
This really seems like the end of an era. For the past thirteen years, Allen Iverson has undoubtedly been one of the best and most polarizing figures in the NBA. It’s certainly hard to deny his impact on the association whether David Stern would like to admit it or not.
I was 10 during the 2001 NBA finals. I knew that the Lakers were huge favorites in that series, but after they took Game 1, it certainly looked like anything was possible. At the time, I didn’t realize how amazing it was that Iverson was able to carry that team to the Finals. Who was the second best player on that team? A 34 year old Mutombo? Eric Snow? Aaron McKie? The 76ers were such an awful team outside of Iverson and the fact that he was able to carry that team to the Finals on sheer will and determination is remarkable, something I can admire much more now than I could have 8 years ago.
