Allen Iverson announced his retirement from basketball.

Allen Iverson, arguably known as one of the greatest point guards in NBA History & 1 of the best players of this generation, officially announced his retirement from basketball just before the 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers home opener. He's only 38 yrs old. He's one of the players that I grew up watching when I was a kid besides Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady. He entertained everyone w/ his superb ball handling skills, including the one when he crossed Michael Jordan during the 1996-97 season. He single-handedly led the 76ers to the 2001 NBA Finals for the 1st time since 1983 & lose in 5 games against the L.A. Lakers. He'll be remembered as one of the all-time NBA greats & I hope to see him get inducted to the Basketball HOF at some point in the future.

    Iverson had the most heart out of any player. He is pound for pound the greatest scorer of his time its just that simple. Had Iverson not had off court problems and problems with his coach many would consider him to be the greatest point guard ever. These problems had a big effect on Iverson but in his prime no one in the league could stop him. No one.
