IVERSON Ready to Retire From NBA ?

November 26, 2009 Leave a comment

 

Allen Iverson

Could it be that it’s all over but the shouting for NBA work horse Allen Iverson? It seems that way because with no apparent interest from NBA teams, he is set to retire, according to an online report.

 

Former ESPN commentator and sportswriter Stephen A. Smith published a statement on his website Wednesday attributed to Iverson. It said Iverson plans to retire but also that “I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.”

The statement also said Iverson has tremendous love for the game and the desire to play, adding there is “a whole lot left in my tank.”

“His legacy would be huge,” Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star LeBron James told the Associated Press. “He’s one of the best when you talk about guys 6-foot and under in the game of basketball. He played injured and he played hard every single night. I don’t think it should end this way, but if it does, he’s left a lot of great things behind.”
