The 76ers with Iverson: Reliving the Ride (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481167000)

For nearly 40 years, Philadelphia 76ers fans have only seen their legendary franchise contend for an NBA title just once.

That one time came in 2001. But after years of disappointing results, how can we re-experience those thrilling moments when they were so long ago?

That's essentially what this book does. It is the only way to time travel back to the peak of the Allen Iverson era. Used as part of the inspiration for the documentary Everything But the Chip, this thrilling novel puts you in a courtside seat on a journey that led to a David versus Goliath NBA Finals matchup-one that still has sports fans talking over 20 years later.

Told from the point of view of a teenager trying to convince his friends and family to watch the team, the narrator reignites all the emotions, thoughts, and observations that illustrate how one scrappy group could captivate an entire nation.

Frequent discussions. Sports radio conversations. Dozens of pictures scattered throughout. They're all part of the story from the construction of the team to their electrifying 2001 playoff run. Expect to smile and feel inspired as you relive countless memories from the last time the Philadelphia 76ers captured the hearts of so many basketball fans.
