Allen Iverson and Chris Webber showed up late to last night’s Fan Appreciation Night in Philly.
“I honestly thought as long as I got there before the ball went up, everything would be cool,” Iverson said. “I’ve been doing it that way my whole career and it never was a problem, even when coach [Larry] Brown was here.”
Oh yeah, why can’t it be like it was back in the good old days?
[Iverson, 2002]: “We’re sitting here, and I’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we’re talking about practice. I mean listen, we’re sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we’re talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game l[ike] it’s my last but we’re talking about practice man. How silly is that?”
Webber was just happy to avoid the pressure of the playoffs.
