Former Sixers guard Allen Iverson formally announced his retirement from the National Basketball Association on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center.
“I’m gonna always be a Sixer, ‘til the day I die,” A.I. said, thanking the fans of Philadelphia. "These fans are me. I am Philadelphia. When you think Philadelphia basketball, you think Allen Iverson. And I fought for that. I earned that."
An emotional Iverson took the stage to announce that his NBA days are over, and he has no regrets. "Not one thing," he exclaimed. Not even ranting about practice.
