Congrats to the younger AI, though it was pretty much a given.

I'm still hoping he makes one of the defensive teams as well.

"If you've ever seen Iverson play in person, you know that his improvisational skills are amazing. Baron Davis calls him unguardable. He's a killer on the fast break. One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Yeah, this is definitely great news. Now if he can make one of the defensive teams, I'll be extremely happy.

Well I think we all knew this was coming. Great performance by a rookie especially playing for the harsh Philadelphia fans. I think we all gave him a chance and let him perform and he delivered.

Cheers to the rook! He deserved it. Didn't he also play in all 82 games too?

Coatesvillain

Even better, he played and started in all 87.
