從頭哭到尾。
PHILADELPHIA -- A tearful Allen Iverson is happy to be back with the
Philadelphia 76ers.
Iverson is returning to the franchise where he was an MVP, calling it an
opportunity he couldn't turn down. The 10-time All-Star guard signed a
non-guaranteed deal with the 76ers on Wednesday, and said at the Wachovia
Center that he's ready to prove he can still play.

"I want to retire here," Iverson said Thursday.
The 34-year-old Iverson was teary almost from the start of his return news
conference. He said he retired after his ill-fated stint with the Memphis
Grizzlies because he felt like "the basketball part of my life was over."
Iverson will play his first game for the 76ers against Denver on Monday.
"Coming back home, all I could think about was the people who made me who I
am," said Iverson, the NBA MVP in 2001, when he led the Sixers to the finals.
Philadelphia hasn't won a playoff series since 2003.
In 10 seasons with the Sixers, Iverson posted the highest scoring average in
team history (28.1), was second on the points list (19,583) and holds the
record for 3-pointers (877). He was a seven-time All-Star, won four scoring
titles and two All-Star game MVPs.
He had a bitter parting with the 76ers in December 2006 and was traded to
Denver. He's also played with Detroit and three games this season with the
Grizzlies.
"I always thought it was strange having another uniform," Iverson said. "I
couldn't feel comfortable with another uniform."
Flanked by team president Ed Stefanski, Iverson said he dreamed of returning
to the 76ers.
"I watch other NBA teams. I can't watch the Sixers," he said. "Ever since I
left, I wasn't able to. Not because there was any bitterness, it was just a
feeling I get. I gave everything I had here for 10 years. It was just always
tough for me to watch them, so I didn't."
Iverson was apologetic for his past behavior and said he acted a lot on anger.
"I don't want to prove anyone wrong in this situation. I'm not in it for
that," he said. "If I can help my team win basketball games the way Coach
wants me to help, then I'll be satisfied."
Stefanski said he didn't promise Iverson would start, but added he didn't
bring him back to Philadelphia to serve as a role player.
"I am bringing him back here to help us going forward to win basketball
games," he said.
The Sixers need all the help they can get to avoid falling out of the Eastern
Conference playoff race. The Sixers (5-14) have lost eight straight entering
Saturday's game at Charlotte.
"I want to fit in. I want to be a part of any success we have," Iverson said.
"I just want to be one of the guys. I don't need a whole bunch of praise. I
don't need a whole lot of accolades. I just want to play basketball."
Iverson will not travel to Charlotte. He will practice Sunday and on Monday
pull on his 76ers jersey for the first time since Dec. 6, 2006, in Chicago --
when he refused to play in the fourth quarter of what became his final game
with the team.
Iverson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft, but his 10 turbulent
seasons in Philadelphia were marred by rants about practice, run-ins with
former coach Larry Brown, arrests and a failed rap career.
In one infamous blowup at the end of the 2002 season, he repeated the word
"practice" nearly 20 times during a rambling monologue.
His returned generated the kind of buzz the Sixers haven't felt in Philly
since he left in 2006. The Sixers said they had 327,657 page views on their
Web site Wednesday once his signing was announced -- up from 36,000 the
previous Wednesday.
The Sixers have not yet sold out Monday's game. His official No. 3 jerseys
are expected to be on sale at the team's merchandise store on Monday.
