    I'm not agreeing with the AI start decision, but could it be that some fans feel that since Iverson basically came out of retirement to play with the Sixers, that maybe this is a way for them to see him play? The Sixers are not a good team and rarely get any nationally televised coverage. AI has always been a favorite of the average NBA fan. He's a little guy that has led the league in scoring, steals, always wears his heart on his sleeve, plays through his injuries and is a hustle player. Maybe a lot of the fans just saw it as a way of paying him back for coming back to play this year? It can't be because he's putting up All-Star numbers. Then again, maybe it was just because he's such a recognizable name that a lot of occasional fans just chose him over other guards that they didn't recognize.
