Allen Iverson  has officially announced his retirement from the NBA. He was definitely a very entertaining player to watch on the court and off the court. Although some people may remember him for his antics like the "Practice" incident no one can say he didn’t go all out every night and competed.

Update: Allen Iverson unretired and signed a 1 year deal on Dec. 4th to go back to the 76ers.
