Outside The Nation: ‘The Answer is the Answer’
“Outside the Nation is where we discuss what is going on outside the Lakers. Discuss what is happening with the biggest league in the best sport in the world.”
As Allen Iverson kissed the floor, you can sense he was back home. He never looked right wearing that Nuggets jersey, nor the Pistons jersey and definitely not the Grizzlies jersey. Iverson is Philadelphia.
Iverson to Philadelphia is MJ to the city of Chicago, Reggie to Indiana and Kobe to the Lakers. Forget his ‘Practice’ speech; forget his off court antics for a second and concentrate on what he did to the city of Philadelphia. He led that team to the 2001 NBA finals, probably the weakest NBA Finals team ever, while defeating the mighty Lakers in game 1 and giving them their only loss of those playoffs.
As Iverson was shooting around to get ready for Denver, the smile on his face never left. The fans walked in one after another looking for the newest 76er, and no one could believe their eyes. Signs to welcome back Iverson were everywhere, #3 jerseys could be spotted in nearly every seat and camera flashes were flying all over the place. The city of Philadelphia had got its hero and its saviour back. Not only fans, but celebrities alike were there to witness the comeback of the The Answer. Donavan McNabb and some of his Eagles were there to witness history. So were reporters from Asia and Europe.
