    I would be very surprised if he actually stays retired...

    Without the demands of an 82 games season, he will finally have time to practice.

    He's been unfairly treated through all of this! He's not willing to play a supporting role on a veteran team and he's not valuable to a young team.

    So unfair.

    I called "/career" some time ago, and maybe I was right, shockingly enough.

    How dare Memphis try to pay him $3 million. Poor AI.

    If you don't have the fortitude to stay around and try and beat out Conley for a starting job . . . you're career is pretty much over.

    Funny thing to me is this is clearly Iverson trying to save face (a little late) . . . if Iverson was given an offer from another NBA team, he will play again . . . and probably quit again.

    Way to go out with class in the tradition of Stephon Marbury and Latrell Sprewell.

    Sheesh - getting paid $3 million to come off the bench for a crap team in this economy is considered being treated unfairly. Talk about a sense of entitlement.

    Amazing. I guess he wants his PPG career averages to stay up. Whatever. Sad. You're right BNM. Just like Marbury and Sprewell. I wonder how Latrell is feeding his kids nowadays.
