While Iverson acknowledges his first start for the Eastern Conference in 2000 was probably the most memorable of them all, he said this one ranks with any of the other five. "This one is special because I'm 30 years old," Iverson said. "You hear all the negative things about your game declining and that, at this point, you should be breaking down. "I still go out and play hard every night and give it my all. I guess the fans recognize that because they [voted] me in the All-Star Game. This one, and any other one I go to from here on out, is something I feel good about because I'm able to accomplish something." Iverson earned All-Star game MVP honors in 2001 and again last year. He is averaging 18.2 points in six games, with a high of 35 in 2003.</div> link: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/100...006-614234.html
