You feel for Iverson, because you know he will never be as close to a title with the talent-laden Nuggets as he was with the ragtag 76ers. Wherever he goes, whereever he plays, his talent demands the ball and the attention, something that does not translate well in the latter stages of the NBA season.

  • Allen is one of the greatest of all time. Up there with Magic, Oscar Robertson, and Jordan. I hope he gets his title, but something about the Nuggets winning it just doesnt sound right. His legacy is Philly, that's where it was supposed to happen.
  • I agree 100%.. I doubt he will win a title in Denver, hopefully he gets a title somewhere before he retires
