Allen Iverson will fit right in on Legends Walk.
The Sixers inducted the scintillating Hall of Fame guard as the 10th player in franchise history honored with a sculpture at the team’s training complex in Camden, New Jersey on Friday.
The team unveiled Iverson’s sculpture in a Friday, April 12 ceremony and also will “host a special celebration prior to tip-off” on Sunday before the Sixers’ game vs. the Nets.
Dolph Schayes’ sculpture was the the ninth unveiled in November of 2022. He joined Charles Barkley, Moses Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer, Bobby Jones and Maurice Cheeks.

Philadelphia 76ers
Chad Fisher has created all of the sculptures on Legends Walk.
“It’s always an honor to contribute to 76ers Legends Walk and continually help bring history to life for such a storied franchise,” Fisher said in the Sixers’ press release. “Allen Iverson was a game-changer, a true 76er who every Philadelphian worshipped, and I’m thrilled to unveil a sculpture of the MVP.”
Iverson’s legacy transcends numbers, although he posted plenty of impressive stats as a Sixer. The 6-foot guard out of Georgetown is second in Sixers history with 19,931 total points, as well as first in made three-pointers, second in steals and third in assists.
He earned four scoring titles as a Sixer, won the 2000-01 NBA MVP award, and led the team on a gutsy and grueling Eastern Conference title run that year.
