Iverson addresses retirement in letter to fans
By Official statement
Posted Nov 25 2009 9:01PM
TO ALL OF MY FANS:
I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball
Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because
I couldn't help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is
not the case.
I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole
lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest
level.
Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my wife
and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I've ever achieved
on the basketball court. I have prayed for this day and I see it as my
greatest gift.
I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always allowing
me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all the ups and
downs. I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I am grateful.
I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me
throughout my entire career. Without you, there would be no me. You should
all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart. Thank
you!
To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and Larry
Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be forever in my
heart.
To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all of my
family and friends who stood by me from the beginning. Thank you!
To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at Georgetown
University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches, teammates,
administrators, owners and staff who've been a part of my career, Thank you
as well!
I'd like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis. I never played a
home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know how much I
appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in Michael Heisley, and
the support of the city. I wish the Memphis Grizzlies' organization all of
the success that the game has to offer.
And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of my
days in a Sixers' uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice will always
be music to my ears.
God Bless all of you,
ALLEN IVERSON
