Allen Iverson is thrilled to be back with the 76ers.

Iverson said Wednesday during his introductory news conference that he couldn't turn down the chance to return to Philadelphia and was visibly emotional throughout the event.

"I want to retire here," Iverson said.

He will begin his second tenure with the team on Monday against the Nuggets.

"Coming back home, all I could think about was the people who made me who I am," said Iverson.
