Mister Allen Iverson, the Sixers star's little brother, was born Oct. 3 to Allen's mother, Ann. Allen's older son, Allen II, is Deuce. Mister Allen Iverson already has been designated as "Trey."
"Born Oct. 3, Allen wears No. 3, so the baby had to be Trey," Ann said cheerily
"He's Mister, because, back in the day, when our people picked cotton and such, the men were always called by their last name. I didn't want that for him. Then I wanted his middle name to be after someone famous. Allen's famous."
There were Allen Iverson sightings all over the Tidewater area during the weekend. At a high school football game Friday night. At a college game Saturday. At a lively party Sunday night at a restaurant not far from the Sixers' hotel. But Ann said Allen was where he needed to be when it meant the most.
"I have to thank [Sixers president/general manager] Billy King and the coaches for letting him come here," Ann said. "We sat and talked and reminisced. Allen was counting the baby's fingers and toes, getting real emotional. It was important to us to be together."

This all sounds Oedipus-ish to me. I'm sorry to hear about the death of her twin, though.
But on an up note, October 3rd is a PRETTY nice day!
