76ers - Glory Days

To start the season, we really loved the Sixers going back to their old logo and uniforms. In fact, we loved it so much that we were going to sift through the Sixers history and bring back more of the Glory Days. Then Andre Iguodala got on board doing his own artistic Glory Days impressions. The Sixers haven't stopped. They are fully embracing the Glory Days theme.

Glory Days is obviously a reference to one of the Boss' better songs. Some would argue that Springsteen is a prophet of sorts. You be the judge.

"My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old"

Dream Team-Up, Pt. 9

Team Name: A.I.
Team Members: Allen Iverson and Andre Iguodala

We hope this pairing doesn't suck as bad as the Spielberg movie.

And we also hope it goes over better than their first pairing. At least there won't be a one legged Chris Webber to mess it up. (On a side note isn't the Elton Brand addition going about as well as the Webber addition? Both are past their prime big men who have struggled through injury)

If this tournament ends up being make-it, take-it, and they get the ball first, they've got a good chance. If not, we'll see a couple great alley-oops to Iggy, a few Iverson crossovers (which are in about the same state of disrepair as the Parthenon...just enough beauty to make you wish you had seen it in its prime but does not serve the purpose it was intended for) and Iverson playing defense for the first time in about 4 seasons, albeit for only 3 possessions.

So this is a weak pairing, yeah yeah yeah, but you know Iverson wants in this tournament and who else would be his teammate?
