PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Nearly 15 years after stepping away from the game, Sixers legend Allen Iverson<\/a> returned to the spotlight Tuesday night to reflect on his life and career in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Speaking to fans at the Theatre of Living Arts on South Street, Iverson spoke about his new memoir, Misunderstood, which is now available in bookstores.<\/p>\n

He discussed how his signature style helped reshape NBA fashion and why he connected so deeply with Philadelphia fans.<\/p>\n

“All they care about is the effort,” Iverson told the crowd. “That was right up my alley because I played every game like it was my last. I know the fans respected it because they know No. 3 played harder than anyone else out there.”<\/p>\n

Iverson also reminisced about his postgame routines, including trips to TGI Fridays on City Avenue.<\/p>\n

“Guys were wearing suits and all that after the game at the arena – I’m going to Fridays, I’m going to the club,” he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
