The Answer, Allen Iverson To Officially Walk Away From The Game Of Basketball In 2 Weeks.
When the 2014 NBA officially kicks-off in two weeks, Allen Iverson will formally make an retirement announced during the Philadelphia 76ers home opener. The now 38-year old legend will obviously become a first ballot hall-of-famer; with career highlights spanning from a 2001 regular season MVP Award, 1997 Rookie of the Year honors and a being a 4-time scoring champion (most recently in 2005).
Throughout his 14-year career, Allen Iverson joins elite company trailing only Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, LeBron James, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West; as 6th place all-time in points-per-game averages for the league. The retirement ceremony is set to take place on October 30th, when the Philadelphia 76ers play the Miami Heat; which LeBron James revealed in the upcoming December edition of ESPN the Mag, that Iverson was his second-favorite player ever behind Michael Jordan.
Dwyane Wade, team president Pat Riley and consultant Alonzo Mourning have a strong fondness for Ivy, so we can expect an emotional ceremony in the city of brother love. We’re privileged to witness the greatest player of all time at 6 feet to lace up and hit the hardwood, for memories we’ll most likely never forget.
