Allen Iverson has decided to retire, according to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. The news was reported by Smith Wednesday afternoon on Philadelphia's 950 ESPN station and he also tweeted thusly:
Breaking News......Breaking News: Allen Iverson's folks just called to inform me Iverson has announced his RETIREMENT. I'll blog later today
Yep, that's how it (reportedly) ends for Iverson: With a phone call from his parents to Stephen A. on a day when no one is even around the internet to read about it. A whimper, not a bang, you could say.
This all comes a week after Iverson parted ways with the Grizzles, after which a deal with the Knicks that seemed imminent fell through.
We'll have much more on this news, along with reactions, as it develops tonight.
