With Sixers coach Eddie Jordan downplaying the slew of "Allen Iverson back to the Sixers" reports , I wanted to take some time and examine what the next eight weeks could look like for the team sans "The Answer." The question that should be on most Sixers' fans minds as they've been watching these past few games: Just who is this new starting point guard? áWho is Jrue Holiday? The Sixers ...

On Wednesday, Sixers' fans washed their pre-Thanksgiving meals down with one piece of bad news after another. á And at the end of the day, all the news seemed to point towards one logical conclusion: It's time for Philadelphia and Sixers legend Allen Iverson to join forces one last time. First, Iverson announced his sudden (and premature?) retirement from the NBA after a three game stint with the Memphis Grizzlies this season. Then, ...

Well, it took more than 90 games, but it looks like the Philadelphia 76ers might actually end up with the 20/10 post player they thought they signed a year ago. Before the 2008-09 season, the Sixers inked former No. 1 overall pick Elton Brand to a five-year, $79.795 million deal, dreaming of a dominant interior presence to team up with their smaller shooters like shooting guard Andre Iguodala and small forward ...

(Don't believe me? áSee this Philadelphia Inquirer áarticle from... oh, ten days ago. áAnd I quote: "Not just anyone can be a star in the best league in the world. But Young is quickly ...
