Holler Back: Allen Iverson Announces Retirement

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

Michigan Football Players Snitch On The Coaches…

In what was by far the craziest story of the weekend, Michigan is investigating itself for possible rules violations. And it’s not for paying players or cheating on a test. It’s for practicing too much. Practice! This is practice.  We talkin’ bout practice!

And personally we don’t believe it, because there’s no way a team could practice two to three times the limit in a week and 12 hours on Sunday and still be that horrible.

But the team can’t put the blame on the NCAA for this one because it was the players that were the ones that ran to the paper and squealed. A total of 6 current and former players have already come forward so far and they’re all saying the same thing… Coach Rodriguez was over-working them.

Yeah, Rich is going down. More on the story here…

Brandon Marshall Suspended For Being An A-Hole…

Technically Brandon Marshall was suspended for “conduct detrimental to the team,” but everyone knows he’s an a-hole. Fresh off winning his case for beating his ex-girlfriend, he comes back and demands to be traded all because he feels the $2.2 million that the Broncos are going to pay him next season isn’t enough.

And instead of just sucking it up and proving he’s worth more, he goes and does this sh*t at practice (video evidence here). Needless to say after that display of immaturity, you will not be seeing him playing in the remainder of the preseason and if he keeps it up, he’ll be suspended for the first 4 games of the season.

In The Face: Duke vs UNC Dunk Contest

Granted Tyler Hansbrough did dunk on a 7′7 or 7′9 foot dude once, but we never knew that he had bounce like this. Here is a shot of him yesterday at tournament practice giving you a 360 windmill. Nice! He’s still not a top 20 draft pick though.

And you know we could not give you the UNC dunk highlights from practice without the Duke ones. Now trust you’ll want to see the video below because one of the white dudes on the team has a ridiculous boost. We’re talking about this dude can do all the Vince Carter dunks.

See if you can recognize him because we can’t…
