After thirteen years in the National Basketball Association, Allen Iverson has retired. At one point, Iverson was the face of the NBA, but there was very little interest in him in the offseason.
The Memphis Grizzlies reluctantly sign him but he wasn't happy on the team and the feeling was mutual. After just three games with Memphis, the team let him go.
There were also rumors about the Knicks, Bobcats, and Heat, but nothing developed.
Therefore, Iverson has announced that he will retire from pro basketball.
