Hip-Hop On Allen Iverson’s Retirement
Wednesday, November 25 2009 8:53 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, ClutchAfter being rejected by the Knicks and no team seeming willing for his services this season, a report has surfaced that A.I. is callin’ it quits. Obviously, the news is spreading quickly and has touched the hip-hop community who view Bubba Chuck as one of their own. Damn shame. Hopefully this isn’t really the end.







UPDATE: Guess it’s official. Here’s his statement. SMH.





Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.
Damn I’m surprised no team wanted to sign him. He still has a couple years left in him I think.
ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!! BUT I DON’T THINK HE REALLY IS RETIRIN’ COMPLETELY!!! I THINK A.I. WAITIN’ FOR THE RIGHT SITUATION TO COME BACK N GET A RING!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
When you’re a pain in the ass and Great, you’re just Great. When you’re a pain in the ass and not Great.. You’re just a pain in the ass. 36 ain’t 26… Good yrs but the game has changed. 3 Best Little Man behind Isiah and Tiny.
who you been wit, chain snatcha…
A million and one questions > The Answer
Readin what some ppl r sayin bout Iverson retiring.Ppl who roc w/ ppl when they’re @the top but yet turn backs on em when they’re @the bottom….I’m just smdh @ u! If u can ride w/ me while Im @ the bottom…Dont try to ride w/ me when Im the @ top!smdh
I remember being gassed when I got A.I.s rookie cards back in 95, he changed the NBA, thugged that shit all the way out and played like a warrior. The unfortunate side of that was that at times he was a malcontent and a cancer to his own teams. I salute his career and hate to see it end this way, but he’s easily one of the best scorers in NBA History, PERIOD.
And I dont give a fuck if you hate it or not, thats why its called MY Opinion.
*raises glass*
kinda sad for me man i’ve always been a fan of iverson and always wished him the best. He’s still one of the greats even without a ring. I’d like to see him on one of the nba shows. I’d rather listen to Iverson than Chris Webber’s bum ass. He didn’t have half the heart Iverson has.

Call me a hater, but fuck this whining ass nigga. RETIRE! Ur time is up if the lowly ass Knicks don’t wantchu.
A.I. is done cuz he don’t no how to mature. He got so use to being the center of attention in philly that now he don’t know how to play without being on the court the whole game. He don’t want a ring he just wants all the glory. So he should retire.
