It’s Homecoming Weekend in Philly sports.

Yesterday it was Michael Vick going back to Atlanta, where he was an All-Pro before being sidetracked by a dog-fighting conviction.

Tonight it’s Allen Iverson’s turn.

A.I. will return to the Wachovia Center and the Sixers, and just for a cherry on top he will face the team he was traded to, the Denver Nuggets.

When Iverson walks out onto the hardwood tonight, it will provide one of those very special moments in Philly sports.

Iverson belongs in a Sixers uniform. He never looked quite right in a Nuggets or even a Pistons jersey, and let’s not even talk about his three-game stint with the Grizzlies.

It likely will be a lovefest tonight, Allen no doubt cupping his hand over his ear as thunderous applause rains down on him.

Will he make the Sixers any better? Who knows. And for one night, who really cares.

This is about the moment. Let’s just sit back and enjoy it.
