The Philadelphia 76ers traded Allen Iverson to the Denver Nuggets today. Iverson, the Number 1 draft pick by the Sixers in 1996 was expected to deliver a championship to Philadelphia. Unfortunately, he did not, coming closest in 2001 with an appearance in that year's NBA Finals.
Below is the yearly record for the Sixers during the Allen Iverson era.
Season W L 96-97 22 60 97-98 31 51 98-99 28 22 99-00 49 33 00-01 56 26 01-02 43 38 02-03 48 34 03-04 33 49 04-05 43 39 05-06 38 44 06-07 5 19 TOTAL 396 415
It must be noted that Iverson did not play in every game during these past 10 years. However, he played in over 90% of them. And his personal win-loss record is below .500 as well.
Anyway, an era ends in Philadelphia, one that began with great expectations, but only to see things come up short.
