PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Allen Iverson is at last headed straight to the top in Philadelphia.
Iverson, one of the all-time great 76ers, was set to have his No. 3 retired at halftime of Saturday's game against Washington.
High above the Wells Fargo Center court, the Sixers set aside space for Iverson between Maurice Cheeks' No. 10 and Charles Barkley's No. 34.
Iverson officially retired in October after last playing in 2010. Iverson won four scoring titles for the Sixers and was the 2001 MVP when he led them to the NBA finals. He never won a championship, the lone omission in a career that is destined for the Hall of Fame.
