Future hall of famer Allan Iverson announced his retirement today. It's sad that no team in the league wanted to pick him up, but it is also sad that he would not accept a lesser role.
He's had a couple of down years due to injury and if he really has anything left in the tank like he claims, he should accept what he is given and show that he can work his way up.
He does deserve the benefit of the doubt, but he shouldn't let his pride get in the way of his career and should work his way up again.
This should not be happening to a star of his caliber. Shame on both the league and Iverson for not being able to agree on some sort of deal.
I want to believe he'll be back, but every team has a young star whom they have a lot of money invested in and are expected to lead their respective teams. Iverson cannot expect to be the first option anymore.
