Allen Iverson<\/b> is prepared to officially announce his retirement from the NBA in the coming days, a source close to the native of Virginia told SLAM.<\/p>\n
Iverson<\/b>, 38, played his last professional basketball in Turkey in 2011. Before that, he appeared in his final NBA game, as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, in 2010.<\/p>\n
When he last spoke publicly, at a Sixers game on March 30, Iverso<\/b>n answered a question about continuing his career by saying, \u201cMy No. 1 goal is trying to accomplish to be the best dad that I can. And if basketball is in my near future, then God will make that happen. But if not, I had a great ride and I’ve done a lot of special things that a lot of guys have not been able to accomplish and people thought I couldn’t accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although he never won an NBA championship, he can boast career averages of 26.7 ppg, 6.2 apg and 2.2 spg as well as 11 All-Star game selections, a league MVP award, four scoring titles.<\/p>\n
Also, Iverson<\/b> still has some sick Reebok signature sneakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
