Re: Allen Iverson APPRECIATION Thread
Long time ago a friend of mine for joke gave me a poster of a guy called Allen Iverson, I Barely knew what the NBA was.. (In Italy it isn't really famous)
Since that day I loved AI and now he's prematurely retiring..
Sad days for me

Re: Allen Iverson APPRECIATION Thread
Allen Iverson is my favorite player of all-time and that will never change. I'm a loyal AI fan and it hurts to see his image crushed by the media. I know he has something left in the tank but I'm not sure if we'll see it because haters and the media crushed his image. Most people now won't remember him because of this past year and a half. Over the off season you could definitely see he still has a love for the game. C'mon, the man was excited to play for Memphis! Anyways, Iverson changed the game, he brought a hip-hop element to the NBA. I hope new NBA fans will see his accomplishments and what happened before Detroit and Memphis because he was a truly amazing player.
When I was young I made AI my hero. I watched as many Sixer games as I could, he fascinated me in many ways. I got into the game of basketball because of AI. Every time I watch the NBA it will be different knowing AI isn't on a team. Yeah, AI has his flaws, but who doesn't. If his team was winning I doubt he would be b*tching. Of course he handled his Grizzlies and Detroit situations not the way he was supposed to but a man who was known as "the man" for years to being a backup for a mediocre team is definitely a tough thing to go through.
AI is will go down as one the greatest men to ever touch a basketball. He made the most of his skills, from being accused of a brawl in Virginia, to his practice speech, to his Detroit and Memphis days, to his image being dead because of haters and the media...I will still respect AI for what he did with Philadelphia. He single-handedly messed up the Lakers perfect playoff run, he led them through tough seasons but never gave up, he sacrificed his body and played through injuries, played with a fire and intensity you don't get from your average NBA player. I will always remember this man as "The Answer." Thank you Allen Iverson.

I'm pretty sure the Magic don't need him. They have a great, balanced team.

Re: Allen Iverson Retires
I disliked Iverson in the past and thought he was overrated but...this guy is too good to come off the bench right now. Lot of aging superstars who are even older than him are never even considered for a bench role. He has been catching some very undeserved hate last couple of years.
