Now that he’s finally come to grips with reality and has retired, the Philadephia 76ers organization is doing the next logical thing in the equation: retiring Allen’s jersey. His #3 Philly jersey is iconic and is a big reason why you see so many guys wearing #3 today.
The ceremony will take place next year and you can rest assured that he will be very emotional.
The Philadelphia 76ers today announced that they will officially retire Allen Iverson’s number “3” in a special halftime ceremony on Saturday, March 1, 2014 when the Sixers host the Washington Wizards.
