Iverson To The 76ers: It's Official, The Answer Is Back

According to Comcast Sports Net of Philadelphia, Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. It’s done. It’s really happening. Go get the Iverson Sixers jersey from the back of your closet.

Philly GM Ed Stefanski had this to say:

“In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will sideline him for close to eight weeks, we felt that Allen was the best available free agent guard to help us at this time."

This was always the way it was meant to happen. Iverson was, and always has been, a Philadelphia 76er. Now, he’ll be one again. He nearly went to the Knicks, and almost had to spend a season in basketball damnation with Grizzlies. Make no mistake, Iverson was on the brink of obscurity and irrelevance. But just when it looked like a generation’s icon was going to the leave the game in disgrace, he’s found the most appropriate situation of all.

We’ll have more on this as the day goes on and reactions emerge, but for now, let’s take comfort in the notion that every now and then, things happen the way they’re supposed to.
