exactly what i am thinking. I say that his move to declare retirement is to save face, perserve that last drop of dignity he has. lol...i think he will return on the first offer any team makes to him.

Iverson addresses retirement in letter to fans: http://www.nba.com/2009/news/11/25/iverson.statement/index.html 'Little' Iverson earns praise from NBA peers for influence: http://www.nba.com/2009/news/11/25/iverson.retirement/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 For the record, I think he'll be back as well.
Good riddance. Now he will have all the time to watch NBA teams practice and see how that helps teams win championships. Another ringless diva leaving the NBA. I hope it is for good.
It works on paper but it would be like the 03-04 Lakers all over again. Too many egos for it to work.
One time for AI, even though he will probably be back. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yb2NW3QfonI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yb2NW3QfonI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
