Misses Triple-Double By An Assist
Mar 31 - During half-time, Charles Barkley's jersey was retired. Barkley, one of the toughest power forwards in his time could hardly hold his tears in as his #34 Sixers jersey went up. Sixers win their 50th game, as Iverson scored 35 points and grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 102-89 win over the Golden State Warriors. Iverson was one assist shy of a triple-double, he said after the game, "I really wanted it because I never did it before. To have a triple double, that's a great all-around game. And on a night like this when you have one of the greatest players to ever play the game, the whole all-around game, and he gets his jersey retired, it was something I wanted to look back on. It was a great night, my mom got to see Charles get his jersey retired, I got a chance to see it. It was something special, something I'll cherish for the rest of my life."
