PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson could skip the All-Star game if he's voted an Eastern Conference starter because of his arthritic left knee.

Iverson is second in voting behind Miami's Dwyane Wade for East guards. Iverson says he would ``absolutely'' attend the Feb. 14 at Arlington, Texas. He added th |

Stefanski took some of the blame, saying Philadelphia's record shows, ``I haven't done a real good job so far.'' He says he feels no real pre |
