as per Steven A. Smith, appearing as I speak, on Fox Sports Radio's Chris Myers-Steve Hartman show. Expect an official announcement later today.[URL="http://www.sbnation.com/2009/11/25/1174189/allen-iverson-will-retire"][/URL]

I guess he wants to keep his PPG stat up.
Well I guess that officially makes me old, as I so clearly recall the moment he stepped into this league as a young high-riser and now he's all aged and whatnot.

:applause: Sad his career had to end this way. I wish he could have taken a lesser role and tried to take one more stab at the playoffs but it was clear he wanted to win on his own terms witch turned out to be a bad choice .

This is the truth. :applause:
[QUOTE=ZeN]And the hate continues.. :ohwell:[/QUOTE]
How is that hate? He cares more about himself than anything else, even his career. He refuses to put the team first, ever. He refuses to accept a lesser role, even when his effectiveness has lessened to merit such a role. He still thinks he's the MVP who can take over every game, and refuses to be treated otherwise. It's not hate: it's reality.
anybody wanna bet he`ll still go to overseas or play in NBA one more time during the next month ?
He'll sign with Boston in February. Bank on it.
he might say that he is retiring but he's not done. he will play in the nba again. book it

That's not a bad idea at all. It could actually help Boston if AI would be kind enough to come off the bench. And I don't even like the guy and never have. But this is a good idea.
Should have retired this summer, since he couldn't handle being a backup.
The Pete Maravich of his era.

It's a bad choice to not go ring chasing?... Now I've heard it all on ISH
If AI truly is retiring instead of going to another garbage team, or a stacked elite team... he gets my respect. He was basically considered a top 5 guard by virtually everyone for his entire career except his rookie season, and his final season (which would be counted as Detroit, not Memphis).

:cheers:
Been saying this for a while now. I don't know why, but I could see him getting along well with KG, Sheed, and the rest.
