Lincoln's Birthday

2/12/2005:
On his way to a fourth NBA scoring title in only nine seasons in the league, Allen Iverson scores a career-high 60 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 112-99 victory over Orlando. Barely six feet tall and 165 pounds, Iverson delights in shredding defenses with feathery long-range jumpers and devil-may-care drives to the hoop. He goes to the foul line 27 times tonight, making 24.
