And what a debut it was.

Iverson, straight outta Georgetown, put up 30 points on 12-19 shooting to lead all scorers on the evening:

Here were the starting lineups on that night:

  • Sixers: A.I., Derrick Coleman, Michael Cage, Clarence Weatherspoon, Jerry Stackhouse
  • Bucks: Vin Baker, Glenn Robinson, Andrew Lang, Ray Allen, Sherman Douglas

Iverson played 76 games that season, and won Rookie of the Year averaging 23.5 points on 41.6% shooting. He had 7.5 assists per game and ripped off 2.1 steals per. That assist number was actually the second highest of his career, outside of the 04-05 season, when he was playing alongside Chris Webber, Andre Iguodala, and Kyle Korver.
