Before the 76ers and Celtics took the floor in Philadelphia for Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series, Allen Iverson slipped into a home jersey. However, his familiar No. 3 wasn’t stitched on the crisp white uniform. Nor was it his name on the back. The 36-year-old was sporting a replica jersey at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night, bearing the name and number of Sixers guard Lou Williams, who wasn’t yet in high school when Iverson earned NBA MVP honors for his dominance during the 2000-01 season.

The 11-time NBA All-Star and four-time scoring champ watched from a suite as the 76ers attacked the rim with what could perhaps best be described as Iverson tenacity (42 points in the paint) and staved off elimination with a 82-75 win.
