Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are in the City of Brotherly Love Saturday night to take on the Philadelphia 76ers, and the star point guard is paying homage to a Philly legend.
Curry sported a custom Allen Iverson-themed jacket for his arrival to the Wells Fargo Center. The varsity-style piece features a large “A” as well as Iverson’s nickname “The Answer” embossed under the left shoulder.

Other details on the front of the blue-and-white jacket include a list of Iverson’s accolades — highlighted by his 2001 MVP award — and the text “Only the Strong Survive.” Iverson has a tattoo of the phrase on his arm.
The 11-time All-Star played 12 total seasons in Philadelphia, including a brief but memorable second stint in 2009-10 for his final NBA games.
The Warriors and 76ers will tip off from the Wells Fargo Center at 8:30 p.m. ET. Curry is currently averaging 24 points and 6 assists per game in the 2024-25 season.
