Allen Iverson is back in the NBA after about a week of retirement as he has been signed by his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson helped get the team into the Finals years ago and had gotten the MVP that year as well. However things went south a in 2006 and Iverson ended up being traded to Nuggets. Now A.I. is back with his old team as they are struggling having lost to Thunder tonight 117-106. The Sixers are now 5-14. Ironically though, Iverson is not the Answer for the Sixers. His production has gone down the last few years and he has become nothing but maybe an average starter. He would be good as a second star player for a team but the Sixers have no good first player. The Sixers might be able to finish within 10 games of .500 but that is it.
However there are a few teams that are worse than Philly. The absolute worst is the New Jersey Nets. While the Nets have never really been that dominate of a team, they were still a borderline Playoff team for most of this decade. While they haven't made the playoffs the last two years, you can pretty much make that three as they have started this season 0-18 as they lost to the Mavericks today 117-101. This is the worst start for any team in NBA History. This team stinks so bad, the Detroit Lions feel sorry for them. The teams best player seems to be Brook Lopez who's numbers do not seem that great. This team has lost a lot of strength and it will be a long time before the Nets are relevent again.
