The Philadelphia 76ers unveiled a sculpture of Allen Iverson at their practice on Friday, depicting one of the franchise's greatest players.
Yes, there is something quite wry about the fact Allen Iverson was immortalized in his crossover pose at — of all sites — the Philadelphia 76ers' practice facility. Practice. Not where the Sixers play their games. Practice.
The Sixers didn't have enough to go the distance and the Lakers won the next four games. Iverson is still connected with the franchise as a team ambassador and occasionally pops up at a courtside seat and receives a roaring standing ovation each time he is announced to the crowd. Iverson complained last year that his role with the Sixers was 'nowhere near what I think it's supposed to be' but any unhappiness appeared to be smoothed over.
