Report: Allen Iverson Retires

by Marcel Mutoni / @marcel_mutoni

The details are very scarce at the moment, but according to Yahoo! Sports columnist Marc J. Spears, Allen Iverson’s career has come to an end.

The news broke via Twitter:

AI’s personal mgr Gary Moore tells Y! Sports AI is retiring.

Let that rattle in your brain for a moment.

More on this tomorrow, obviously.

    The right way?
    It never stops man. If you don’t do things the way people want, they hate you for it and then blame you for their hate.
    Ask Paul Robeson.
    Ask Oscar Robertson.
    Ask all the other cats who did it their way. Let their critics tell it, they brought all their problems on themselves, it’s all their fault.
    It never, ever changes.
    The world is depressing.

    Damn, suddenly basketball sucks. F***k!!!!

  • lakkk

    Dimitris, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR WEAK LITTLE EURO PLAYERS, SO SHUT THE F*CK UP AND BE A MAN.

    @travoris and lakkk: Although I dont like the greek guy either, I feel ashamed reading your comments! Answering with soo much hate, on – in this connection – completly unimportant topics! Whats up with you americans ???

    Greek dude I thought today of all days you could try and be a little bit humble, just for once.
    Dont you ever entertain the idea that you could be wrong? Being that, you know, every ex player, pundit, journalist and almost all fans agree he is a legend who will without doubt be a first ballot hall of famer.
    Fair enough if you dont like him but denying his quite obvious talent is plain stupid.
    Anyway sad to hear him go out like that. Such a unique talent which is what made him so watchable.

    I have nothing nice to say, so I will say nothing at all…that’s all the respect AI gets outta me right now.

  • rikson

    Nice one Wayno….

    He should co-host a reality TV show with Stephon Marburry entitled “PIMP MY PRIDE”

    @Allenp Pretty sure you just compared Allen Iverson to Paul Robeson and Oscar Robertson. Shame on you sir.

  • tavoris

    @FoCo, for you to question his comparison tell how little u know about Robeson & Robertson.

  • FoCo

    @tavoris No it only proves how delusional you AI fanboys are. Robeson and Robertson, particularly Robeson, were revolutionary figures and at a time of overt national racism. It may strike a little closer to home with Oscar Robertson with the basketball connection but its still out and out absurd. The Big O was head of the players association and led the charge for higher wages in the NBA among other things. You call me back when AI is put in charge of anything bigger than a basketball or is persecuted by the government, i.e. Robeson and the Red Scare. Until then enjoy blindly following Allen Iverson.

  • tavoris

    foco, a comparison does not mean the compared items are of equal measure. even a blind fanboy understands that. geez.

  • chintao

    Nice discussion on NBA League Pass halftime tonight. Eric Snow said A.I. thinks it’s like cheating to sign-on with a contender just to cop a ring. Also, he noted that Iverson probably would be willing to come off the bench. The thing is, it has to make sense. He can’t be sitting behind inferior players while the team is steady losing.

  • tavoris

    @chintao, it’s what he’s been saying all along. People just think he’s being arrogant. It’s called wanting to cement your own legacy, as opposed to riding on another’s coattails. While it’s likely to not result in a ring in his career, it is certainly understandable.
