That Sixers team was utterly stacked from a role player perspective. Had they faced anyone else but the Lakers, they probably win. But thereโs no denying that for better or worse, AI literally carried the offence. Thatโs where the perception comes from that Iverson carried them. He couldnโt have done it without them, but theyโd have been a fringe playoff team at best without him.
The quality is awful, what are y’all doing
