The crowd erupted when Allen Iverson got up early in the first quarter. The fans quickly realized it was just a timeout, then put together an even better welcome a few minutes later.

When Iverson made his first appearance for the Nuggets with 3:25 left in the first, the crowd roared even louder. The public address announcer said, "For the first time at the Pepsi Center, Allen Iverson" and the place dialed it up even more.
