Allen Iverson returns to Philly!


Allen Iverson planted a kiss on the 76ers logo at midcourt and blew imaginary ones to the fans. He showed his appreciation to his fans during his first game back in Philadelphia since he was traded to the Nuggets in December 2006. On his sneakers he had "THZPHILA." The fans responded with their own tributes. From fans being adorned in Sixers and Nuggets jerseys to holding up signs of their appreciation- the crowd showed they still love A.I. While some athletes say they don't worry about what the fans think of them, Iverson does: "I don't think there's nobody that plays this sport that don't care about what the fans think of them and think of what they gave on the basketball court."

A.I's high was brought to a bitter-sweet low when the Sixers won the game (115-113). According to Iverson, "Everything was perfect but one thing, and that was not winning the game."
