If this was at an Eagles game I could swallow it, because the Eagles have been a winning franchise for the past four seasons. The Phillies haven't made the playoffs in about a decade, and these fans who wasted their money on that game (only to watch them lose to the Braves again!) decide to boo Iverson.
I'm all fine with booing, but when it's a player who played hard in the Olympics with a broken thumb, it upsets me. Hey fans.. boo the Phillies, boo Ed Wade, boo the Phillies ownership who cares more about spinning a profit than winning a championship. And most of all boo yourselves for falling into the trap of another horribly manufactured team that promised post season glory.

Iverson being booed there is a sign of the times. How the heck can anybody boo Iverson - much less fans from Philly?
This guy is special! Very FEW all stars lift their game in the playoffs, when going against the best teams - Iverson does that in 4/5 categories!
Career:
535 531 41.4mp .417fg% .310 .758ft% .1.00 3.10 4.10rpg - 5.7 apg 2.38 .21 3.64 2.20 27.0 ppg .
Playoff :

Amazing - how many supposedly great players do NOT go UP in those stats when they have to play against great teams - but Like Jordan, Iverson goes UP when the stakes are the highest.
