Iverson the Answer for fans longing for days of old

Forget the fact that the Sixers are 5-16 and sitting in next-to-last place in the Eastern Conference (with only the lowly New Jersey Nets behind them).  Forget the fact that they lost their 10th straight game Monday, 93-83, to the Denver Nuggets.  It is very rare that you can say this in sports, but winning is not the most important thing.  Not tonight at least.

It’s all about Allen Iverson.  It’s all about getting one last chance to see the man who gave fans so many great memories in his decade as a Sixer suit up for the hometown team once again.

I was one of the 20,664 people who attended this game, the first sellout the Wachovia Center has seen for a Sixers game in a long time.  It was a surreal night that brought back so many memories.
