Iverson Mulling Retirement

Memphis Commercial Appeal:

Iverson left the team Saturday after receiving permission from Griz owner Michael Heisley to deal with a personal matter. The stress associated with a family issue plus Iverson's frustration over playing a reserve role might spell the end of his 14-year NBA career, according to the source.

Heisley said he's not been given any indication that Iverson might be leaning towards retirement, and still is holding out hope that the 10-time All-Star will return to Memphis. ...

A source close to Iverson confirmed the 34-year-old is indeed attending to a personal issue, and his discomfort with the Grizzlies also factored into the abrupt separation. Iverson appeared in three games since returning from a hamstring injury and played off the bench each time.

It is a shame that Iverson refuses to adjust his game to reflect his current ability and situation.

He still sees himself as the player he was 10 years ago and obviously places himself above any team.

Iverson has brought his likely premature retirement on himself. The NBA will go on without him.

He should. At this point he is no more then a distraction. All he will do now going forward is damage his HOF resume.
