Yahoo! Sports: Iverson retires

He can stay in shape playing 1 on 1 with Stephon Marbury.

 

My money is on AI.

 

Best line on Iverson come from John Smallwood.
'Iverson exits the NBA the same way he entered - the Answer who produced far too many questions."

 

Saw some poll on "What is the biggest thing you'll remember about AI's career?"

My answer, which wasn't a choice, was "Practice. We're talkin' 'bout practice, man."

 

I was at that presser. The sound bite has been overblown. When he said it, although it was dramatic, it didn't register as much. TV and cable took it to another level.

 

Doubtful. Do you really think the Sixers want him around all those young players? When they traded him they told him to stay away from the team until they could dump him. AI was my favorite Sixer, but his days with them ended when he and Chris Webber skipped out on fan appreciation night.

 

A lot has changed with the organization since then. And like it or not, AI's popularity as a former Sixer is still very high. With Lou Williams out for 8 weeks, a return of AI could become a possibility.

 

Wait a minute . . . he was still playing?

 

Who?

 

Good riddance. He was a nice talent but extremely overrated.

 

You can hate him all you want. Plenty do. But calling him overrated is plain unintelligent. MVP. Multiple scoring titles, etc.. That ain't overrated. Sorry.

 

You take 35 shots a game, you can win plenty of scoring titles. He had the green light every freakin' season except the last two. If you shoot enough, you will score enough.
