    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">- The 76ers' preseason game had been over for close to 45 minutes, but 40 to 50 people remained seated last night at the Constant Convocation Center, waiting for a curtain call from the star of the show.

    Then Allen Iverson emerged, shaking hands, hugging and kissing people in the group that included his mother, Ann, along with his grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins, and "some cousins I didn't know I had."

    In his homecoming game, Iverson, from nearby Hampton, dazzled the adoring sellout crowd of 8,136 at the arena on the Old Dominion University campus, scoring 20 points and handing out six assists in the Sixers' 102-85 loss to the New Orleans Hornets.

    It had been a rough few days for Iverson. Ann Iverson gave birth to twins about two weeks ago, but one died. Her 28-year-old son left the Sixers on Thursday to be with her. She named the surviving baby Mister Allen.</div>

    Full Story...

    This is very nice of the fans, and it just shows appreciation not just towards him but towards the little one resting in peace now. May God keep the whole Iverson family strong at this time of need.
