• TSmoove Posted: Jan.12 at 10:05 am
  One of the NBA’s greatest leaves us…hopefully we will never forgot The Answer an what he did for the NBA not just basketball wise but culture wise…

• Eboy Posted: Jan.12 at 10:06 am
  …..and make a return to the NBA.

• Jukai Posted: Jan.12 at 10:14 am
  Just to be straight, this is time number 3, correct?

• burnt_chicken Posted: Jan.12 at 10:19 am
  is there any kind of global agreement between leagues regarding a retirement in one league, then a subsequent return to a (playoff) roster in another?

• mikee1680 Posted: Jan.12 at 10:31 am
  He’ll never have to practice ever again.

• AT33 Posted: Jan.12 at 10:33 am
  He should have retired long ago. Now he will be remembered as the screw up who went to Turkey cuz no NBA team wanted him and coudn’t score 2points in the Euroleague.

• apeman Posted: Jan.12 at 10:37 am
  again… when does he announce his return?

• Tzvi Twersky Posted: Jan.12 at 10:38 am
  I was actually informed that it’s his calf.

• slamfan4life Posted: Jan.12 at 10:39 am
  He’s gonna come back in the L……… I KNOW IT

• riggs Posted: Jan.12 at 10:52 am
  brett favre syndrome

• Wayno Posted: Jan.12 at 10:54 am
  Somehow there will still be 25 articles per week about him on SLAM…the words “hip-hop culture” and “real” will be used 96 times per article.

• davidR Posted: Jan.12 at 10:57 am
  here’s some highlights from one of his games in turkey. check toward the end how iverson’s team lost. that has to be one of the dumbest basketball plays i’ve ever seen

  AI is definitely one of the more defining players of this generation who influenced alot of ppl and gave the little guys hope that they can also have success in basketball seeing some of the things he did… if this is for real and he really doesnt come back, it shouldnt have to end in turkey for a former MVP and scoring champ, thats not the way to go out which is why i suspect if he can get back to the NBA he will…

• The Ambassador Posted: Jan.12 at 11:18 am
  Allen Iverson should make a one hour special reflecting the time he had in Turkey then make another one hour showing which NBA team he would like to go and donate all the money to some sort of charity.

• Stillballin Posted: Jan.12 at 11:19 am
  AI will forever my hero..

• bashmo Posted: Jan.12 at 11:33 am
  A goddamn beast among men, AI much love, one of the games greatest 2 guards to ever live…respect!!

• KB8toSG8 Posted: Jan.12 at 11:49 am
  The Answer ends….. Wish he gets into the HOF. Best small guy in NBA along with Isiah.

• IAMORANGE4EVER Posted: Jan.12 at 12:01 pm
  Next up, the Big Turkey.

• karma Posted: Jan.12 at 12:08 pm
  “Somehow there will still be 25 articles per week about him on SLAM…the words “hip-hop culture” and “real” will be used 96 times per article.” HAHAHAHHHA so true. “He defined the hip hop generation. He kept it real.” What they fail to mention is where keeping it real got him. What a tool.

• The Philosopher Posted: Jan.12 at 12:27 pm
  I KNEW he would not make it through that contract…

• LA Huey Posted: Jan.12 at 12:31 pm
  *pour some milk on the floor* (I’m eating breakfast)

• fruizm Posted: Jan.12 at 12:36 pm
  AI is and will always be my favorite player….put please dont make ANOTHER come back!!!!

• nbk Posted: Jan.12 at 12:45 pm
  AI is only 25 more retirements from being basketball’s brett favre

• Jukai Posted: Jan.12 at 1:28 pm
  Awesome, Wayno!

• 80 Posted: Jan.12 at 1:31 pm
  @at33 he was never playing in the Euroleague. His team was competing in a lower european competition, eurocup or something.

• alex80 Posted: Jan.12 at 1:43 pm
  ADIOS AMIGO!!! thanks for the great games, moments ,knees,back,heart and soul you put into this $#%t……

• Hussman25 Posted: Jan.12 at 1:50 pm
  It’s time…

• JD Posted: Jan.12 at 1:56 pm
  wow. Bet no one enviasged when he was MVP that his retirement would only be given 6 lines. What a great player, he showed lil guys can score.

• L Posted: Jan.12 at 2:05 pm
  AI is a Hall of famer period. L

• torobravo Posted: Jan.12 at 2:53 pm
  LMAO @ LA HUEY……

• kc Posted: Jan.12 at 3:16 pm
  Who didn’t see this coming?

• rob stewart Posted: Jan.12 at 3:52 pm
  SLAM holla at me on the ALL-Iverson SLAM issue.

• True H Posted: Jan.12 at 4:13 pm
  He went above and beyond to ensure that his legacy would be tarnished. I’m actually impressed at how little grace his career ended with. David Robinson he is not! lol

• Michael NZ Posted: Jan.12 at 5:12 pm
  The ‘injury’ is just a cover for quitting. Again.

• doyouwantmore Posted: Jan.12 at 5:22 pm
  GOODBYE. I hope its for real this time.

• Allenp Posted: Jan.12 at 5:34 pm
  One story said he had some sort of bone growth. At least on Hoops Hype it said that. Something about a tumor.

• Pardeep Posted: Jan.12 at 5:44 pm
  ^yeah I just read that, the tumor thing sounds scary…. wish AI the best

• SLAM ONLINE | » Allen Iverson ‘Totally Disputes’ Retirement Talk Posted: Jan.12 at 6:15 pm
  [...] like some earlier reports were way off-base. From the AP: “Gary Moore, Iverson’s longtime manager, said Iverson told him Wednesday [...]

• nobrain Posted: Jan.12 at 6:57 pm
  not true. i talked to AI and he’ll be back in 2 months. reporting from istanbul/turkey

• Darksaber Posted: Jan.12 at 8:58 pm
  A freaking lesion, pressing against his bone? Hope it’s benign.

• Dacre Posted: Jan.13 at 7:54 am
  The National Basketball League Australia is about to reach the playoffs… and the Wollongong Hawks are in need of an injured yet capable guard….
  …. : )

• BlackPhantom Posted: Jan.13 at 8:03 am
  Wish The Answer the best of luck in the future.

• MikeC. Posted: Jan.13 at 6:42 pm
  I just don’t understand all the hype for one of the game’s all-time losers and headcases.

• parantap Posted: Oct.15 at 6:41 am
  …………..make a comeback as MJ did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
