The Philadelphia 76ers have had an exciting last several weeks. The franchise got excited when superstar guard James Harden was initially acquired, as they salivated over the possible doors that had been opened with the franchise's trade for the former league MVP. Then Philly fans got excited all over again when Harden made his highly anticipated debut for the Sixers coming out of the All-Star break. On Wednesday, Harden will make his home debut in front of the Philadelphia fans. Sixers legend Allen Iverson delivered a message to Harden ahead of the big moment.
The fans in Philadelphia are the best in the world, you’ll see tonight… Welcome Home killa!!! @JHarden13

Allen Iverson sent out a tweet to James Harden, telling him that Sixers fans “are the best in the world” while informing the newest member of the franchise that he'll find out for himself on Wednesday night.
That's an epic message from Iverson, who spent 12 seasons with the Sixers and led them to the NBA Finals, to Harden, who is trying to take the franchise to new heights.
It's been a pretty good start for Harden in Philadelphia, as the former Houston Rockets guard has scored 27-plus points with double-digit assists in each of his first two games with the Sixers. However, while Iverson may be right about Philly fans being some of the best in the world, he's also neglecting to mention that they are some of the most demanding.
Harden, however, clearly wanted to be in this sort of environment. He'll get his first taste of the Philly fans on Wednesday night when the Sixers take the court against the New York Knicks.
