Allen Iverson gets all emotional on us



Allen Iverson is now officially back with the Philadelphia 76ers and had a rather emotional press conference. Iverson's voice at times started to crack and he cried at a couple of moments during the interview.

It's nice to see a future Hall-of-Famer learn his own mortality and that life is learned through the mistakes we make. Most NBA athletes are perceived as "thugs" and immoral individuals, even Iverson was classified as a "thug" during portions of his NBA career.

What we learn that Iverson is more than just the records, an NBA Finals appearance, and his perceived image. It's nice to see someone as human in a closed-off society that is the NBA.

Good luck to Allen and hopefully his final chapter will help define his legacy.
