Allen Iverson and Chris Webber could not play last night due to injuries, but failed to show up until tipoff. These two individuals did not even make an appearance on the bench during Fan Appreciation Night.
The team president, Billy King, gave an explexitive filled comment about it after the game and said that such behavior would not be tolerated. He said he was upset and the fans had every reason to be upset. Maurice Cheeks, the head coach of the 76ers wasn't happy either as it made him look like he lacked control of his basketball team.
Guess this is the end of the "Iverson Era" in Philly and he went out without even showing up for what should have been his last game. Classic AI. I know what he's going to say, but hey, atleast this time we're not talking about practice...
Here's the link from the Philly Inquirer story that appeared in the San Jose Mercury News:
