The Philadelphia 76ers will host a retirement ceremony for Allen Iverson on Saturday during halftime of their game against the Washington Wizards.

The team plans to offer fans a number of different pregame exhibits and exhibitions, including a “hair clipping artist” snipping Iverson’s likeness into the hair of one fan.

Iverson’s No. 3 will be raised to the rafters during an extended halftime ceremony that will be attended by a number of former players, including Julius Irving, Moses Malone, Gary Payton and Iverson himself.

The team will sport Iverson’s number on their warm up jerseys, and wear special “Iverson Forever’ patches on their jerseys as well. Fans also will be able to purchase a patch for themselves from team stores.

Here’s a sneak peek at the patches the 76ers will wear.
