La Bomba Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Allen Iverson is contemplating retirement if he doesn't return to the Grizzlies, sources told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Iverson left the team on Saturday after receiving permission from team owner Michael Heisley to deal with personal issues. The source claims that the stress that comes along with the family issue, along with his frustration over his role in Memphis, may lead him to call it quits. "I just think if he was going to retire, he'd tell me first," Heisley said. "I expect him to come back. If he does retire, I'll be tremendously disappointed. I feel bad because I don't think that's the way he should go out." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/62655/20091109/source_iverson_mulling_retirement/ Best news I've heard all season concerning the Grizzlies.

Legacy Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sad to see Iverson's career go down like this. After all that's happened with him in Denver, Detroit and now here in Memphis, people are starting to see that he is a selfish player. He is one of the best little men to ever play the game, but I guess he never had the attitude to win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Heisley Would Be 'Disappointed' If Iverson Retired Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley says that he'd be "disappointed" if Allen Iverson retired. There are rumors that Iverson might call it quits, but Heisley says that Iverson gave him no indication that doing so is a possibility. "I expect him to come back," Heisley said. "If he does retire, I'll be tremendously disappointed. I feel bad because I don't think that's the way he should go out." The Grizzlies granted him a leave due to personal issues. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/62663/20091109/heisley_would_be_disappointed_if_iverson_retired/ Of course it would disappoint him, he's the idiot that wanted to sign him.

Warren2ThaG Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Miami would be good for him if he stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If he retires, do we have to pay the part of his contract? Does he have any guaranteed money in a one year deal? That would be the only downside to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) The league is blackballing him I think he should retire, and not ruin his legacy as on of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. Coaches need to adapt plays that will best fit their players not the other way around. Edited November 10, 2009 by Ya Dig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 He needs to make up his mind because I'm getting sick of all these stories of what he's going to do and how he feels. They're getting really annoying because it seems like a new one pops up everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Greatness Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If Iverson really wants to play his own way, why doesn't he go overseas? He can put on a show for Europe's uncorrupted fans who are so accustomed to fundamental basketball. Add excitement to your basketball!
