ESPN's Chris Broussard tweeted that sources are telling him that Allen Iverson will officially announce his retirement at the Sixers home opener on October 30th when the team takes on LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Iverson's decision likely makes this one of the few Sixers games on the schedule all year that will have more than a couple thousand fans in attendance could be a sell out.
Nobody packed that building like A.I. His official retirement will likely do it one more time.
