Allan Iverson to offically retire from NBA

[Sportsguy9695]

Allen Iverson, an 11-time All-Star who has not played in the NBA since 2010, is prepared to officially announce his retirement in the coming days, SlamOnline.com reports.

According to the report, the 38-year-old Iverson has come to terms with the fact that his playing career is finished. He has not played professionally since 2011 in Turkey.

On his bobblehead night in Philadelphia in March, Iverson indicated he still hoped to return to the NBA. Just two months earlier, he turned down an opportunity to launch a comeback in the NBA Development League.

Did you see the interviews from that bobblehead night? He was obviously under the influence.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's dead soon. What a shame.

It is not possible for Iverson to retire - he was forced out of the game for being a douche.

Question:

How many of you are married, but mentally retired from your marriage for years now?

Or

How many of you are married and mentally retired from being your own man in control?

Exactly what is the piece of garbage going to retire from anyway considering no one has offered him a job in two years?

Greatest trick of them all - The wife lets you think you're in charge

28 years is nice though - by now the kids are grown and still taking money out of your pocket even though they are supposed to be gone

28 years!!! Wow Congrats...

But yea no matter all the stupid shit overdone did. He still was a great player. The best small player I ever seen play. He is definitely in the hall of fame. And I think I would rank him in the top 10 SG's of all time.

Now.... Allen Iverson can retire to the comfort of his luxurious two bedroom efficiency walk up apartment (that doesn't have off street parking).

No way.... what do these guys do with the money? Wipe their ass with it?

Iverson (IF HE MAKES IT) is lucky... because a Reebok trust from his big shoe contract pays him $30,000,000 in 2030.

Of course.... his ass will probably trade his $30,000,000 in 2030 to some loan corporation for $5,000,000 in 2014.
