**PHILADELPHIA, PA** – Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry showed his respect for Philadelphia basketball legend Allen Iverson ahead of Saturday night’s game against the 76ers. Arriving at the Wells Fargo Center, Curry sported a custom-designed jacket paying homage to “The Answer.”

The varsity-style jacket, in blue and white, prominently featured a large “A” and Iverson’s nickname, “The Answer,” embroidered below the shoulder. Additional details included a list of Iverson’s accomplishments, culminating in his 2001 MVP award, and the phrase “Only the Strong Survive,” a tattoo Iverson himself bears.

The gesture is a fitting tribute to Iverson, an 11-time All-Star who spent 12 seasons with the Sixers, including a final, memorable stint in 2009-10.

Curry, currently averaging 24 points and 6 assists per game this season, and the Warriors will face the 76ers at 8:30 p.m. ET. The game promises to be a highly anticipated matchup, with Curry’s pre-game display adding an extra layer of excitement for Philadelphia fans.
