SOME IVERSON WITH YOUR ROCKY
12.21.06This commercial isn't particularly new, but I found it timely, what with Allen Iverson leaving Philadelphia the day before Rocky VI opened. I'm not intentionally trying to torture Philly fans by posting this, I swear. Well, maybe a little.
I don't know what Reebok can do now that he's a Nugget. Somehow I don't see Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead as a good backdrop for a shoe commercial. Although maybe if they got Christopher Walken to sign up… Besides, who doesn't like boat drinks?
UPDATE: TrueHoop has excerpts of AI's Barbara Walters John Thompson interview here.

Jussoyaknow, 76er fans from Philly (me!) are now proud fans of the Denver Nuggets. I mean the only reason to root for the Sixers (or attend games, or watch them on TV, or purchase any gear) for the past 5 years has been Iverson. And we’re beyond tortured, we’re beginning to enjoy the pain. I’m just hoping our collective bad karma can’t reach the high altitudes of Denver.
btw, I think I visit this site more times a day than ESPN.com. Keep it up. And that’s a threat.
Boat drinks
boys in the band ordered boat drinks
visitors scored on the home rink
ev’rything seems to be wrong…
