Only in Philadelphia could fan appreciation night be completely butchered. If you haven't heard by now, Iverson and Webber did not play last night and didn't show up for the game until minutes before tip off. I wrote yesterday that this could potentially be Iverson's final game in Philly sporting a Sixers jersey but that day may have already passed days ago.
Sports radio is livid with A.I. and you can't really blame them. I am just kind of taking it as another notch on the achievements of Philadelphia sports.
A.I. and CWebb, classless to the end. Trade them all, who really cares.

Billy King was happy:
We didn't make the playoffs. I've got a lot of [bleeping] work to do, and this is some [bleep] that is a distraction to me. Am I pissed off? You're goddamn right I am. Is that what you want to hear? You [bleeping] heard it.''
