Hate to admit it - 76ers are better without Iverson and Nuggets are worse with him

Allen Iverson is my favorite NBA player. I don't think the media ever gave him the credit for how hard he played, how talented he is, and actually the fact that he's a good teammate and unselfish on the floor. I thought the Sixers were dead and the Nuggest would make a run for winning the Western Conference.

Well, the Nuggest have done better than the Sixers in one respect-- their attendance is on the rise while the Sixers are on the fall. But the Nuggets can't seem to get it together, and the Sixers are putting a nice little run together, with Iguodala finally playing up to potential.

“There's only one Allen Iverson,” Sixer guard Kyle Korver said. “He's a great player. But the style of play we're going to play from now on has to be different. We're still growing in exactly what that is. We have such a long ways to go, but we have the right mentality of what we want to be as a team.”

So 2 months ago, everyone said the Nuggets by far got the better of the trade. Who still thinks so?
