Allen Iverson says he's retiring

[jaydacris]

philly will have a nice retirement ceremony for him

[BALLin01]

F*ck man! my favorite player of all time! I've stuck with him forever... He will still be my favortie baller of all time tho... Hopefully he can come back later in the year but right now, i feel like crying right now

Well, at least he did win a gold.... err bronze medal.

[PistonsFan#21]

How many rings did Mr.11 get without at bench full of HOF's?


Yes, my hand just said hi to your face.

That was exactly my point...its 2 different players, playing 2 different positions, with 2 totally different view of the game (stats vs team play) and in 2 different contexts...how did you guys end up comparing Bill Russel to Iverson is beyond me.

[BALLin01]

Since Iverson defenders have failed to list 3 skills that he possesses I'll ask another, more interesting question.

Name me a team, in any sport, that has ever won a championship while being centered around an inefficient player. Go.

Will you please SHUT THE F*CK UP?! I'm tired of this Iverson hating and the day he retires you continue you're unwanted hatred.





Suck on this SH!T B!TCH!

[AMISTILLILL]

I give him until spring of 2011 until he's back. Why else do you think he's saying stuff like "I've still got a lot left in the tank and can compete at a high level"?

[ArizaAttack24]

He'll be back....Whether it's next season or later this season, He'll be back without question.

[bay2theAlady]

He'll probably sign with a championship contender come the deadline. I'm sure he'll change his mind about coming off the bench if he thinks he can get a ring...

1a) Individual award.
1b) Individual gloating.

Summarizes Iverson's career quite well.

[Roundball_Rock]

Say it ain't so, AI! Phoenix and other AI fans do you think this is for real or will he be back? I hope a team picks him up after the ASG.

[305Baller]

Im shocked. I hope he comes back after a year off.

[oh the horror]

So do we negate everything Iverson has done, because they were individual awards? You can admit it, or live in denial, but AI DID lead a team to the NBA finals.


Some players NEVER EVEN GET TO THE FINALS. AI LEAD his team. Deny that sh*t all you want, but AI was the most important player on that team.




He won an MVP, and various other awards. If we're NOW going to DENY those awards mean something in this league, then we should now deny that they mean anything to any other players who have come and gone, and have won those various awards.



Get off your damn high horses. Do ANY of you even realize how HARD it is to win ANY awards in the NBA?

Summarizes your time on ISH.

Now everyone is saying that he is washed up, and that he cannot start and should be a sixth man. Why? I still dont know why. Honestly, why? People say that he cannot carry a team anymore. WTF? There is obviously something in between coming off the bench and carrying a team. The media dragged his name through the mud, with most saying that he simply doesnt have it anymore. After ONE bad year with a team going nowhere regardless.

You know why he should come off the bench? Because the team that is paying him asked him to. That's it.

[oh the horror]

Yeah, I agree with this alone.


He was asked to do a job, in which he felt he was too big for. And I dont agree with the way AI handled these situations.
