“A lot of people have said AI doesn’t know how to play team ball, AI is selfish, AI always talks in the third person,” said AI, as he looked at himself in the mirror.   “Well, it looks like AI silenced the critics again and is being the ultimate team player and doing what’s best for every team in the league by retiring from the game of basketball.”

While Iverson has posted gaudy statistical numbers, it may have been the Chauncey Billups-Allen Iverson swap that sealed his fate as a cancer to a team.  In that year, Chauncey Billups led the Denver Nuggets to the NBA playoffs, while Iverson commandeered the Detroit Pistons to courtside seats at the NBA Playoffs.  Former coach and hair braider Larry Brown noted that while Allen Iverson was a tremendous individual talent, his retirement from the league in order to better the other teams and save them from his selfish play, shows just how selfless Allen Iverson has become.

“This just goes to show how good of a player Allen Iverson is.  This is the most unselfish basketball move I have seen in a long time. Allen should be awarded 30 assists onto his career average, for every team he indirectly assisted in retiring.  Iverson has all the athleticism, quickness, and God given talent, but by retiring from the league for the benefit of the rest of the teams, he is putting on display his high basketball IQ and grasp of the fundamentals. This is the definition of moving without the basketball. If there was any doubt, Allen has just secured his place in the hall of fame. “

When asked how he would spend his time now that he’s retired, Iverson causally stated that he did not know, but would definitely consider rejoining the NBA when the league now realizes how unselfish his game has become.
