I was a bit saddened to read yesterday that Andre Iguodala hates being called Iggy. I referred to him as Iggy on many occasions and thought it was a fine name. I thought he was one of the few Philadelphia athletes with a solid nickname. No longer will he be known in these parts as Iggy.
From Phil Jasner:
(And, please, don't call him "Iggy.'' Call him Andre. Call him 'Dre. Even "The Other A.I.'' Just not "Iggy.'' He detests it.)

And so it be done.
On the same day that IGGY died, 'Dre dropped a triple double on the Sonics. The Other A.I. can ball a little bit. This was Iguodala's third triple double of the season. It's looking more and more like the Sixers are falling (rising?) out of the Oden/Durant sweepstakes. That is, if Durant decides to come out of college.
Would have been nice to have fourth row seats to this game.
