Iverson, 76er 4 life
Phillynews.com is reporting that Iverson has been signed to a 4 year contract extension.
According to a league source, the Sixers will announce today that Iverson has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth about $76.7 million, a deal that pretty much ensures that the all-star guard will spend the remainder of his career in Philadelphia.Iverson has this year left and an option year after that before the extension kicks in.
I agree with deal. Iverson has the talent and probably more important to Philadelphia fans has the heart even if he lacks a penchant for practice. It also makes sense financially for the Sixers. In addition to bringing an eager audience to watch on tv and attend games at home and on the road Iverson is a marketing windfall. His being a Sixer has probably sold more Sixers' crap than Dr. J, Barkley, and Scottie Brooks combined.
Lost in all the Iverson hoopla though is the equally important story of the Todd MacCulloch comeback.
