    Allen Iverson is such a likable person. I don't think there are many people who enjoy playing basketball as much as he does.

    His world is entirely of his own making. He could have remade his game, and been a successful 6th man until he was 40, but he refused to budge.

    He probably should have done this at the beginning of his career; maybe even right after high school. Not even for humility's sake; but just to broaden his horizons.

    He says the right things in interviews, gives you the sad puppy dog look, and you think he's turned a corner. AI isnt going to change. A hideous train wreck in the making.

    Too bad he was thrown in prison.

    To be honest, the Allen Iverson story is touching. I wish that he could end his career on a good note.

    The guy was thrown in prison because of a racist trial, and had a whole town of people protesting for his release. This guy is a great example of zero to hero, except he isn't exactly a hero right now.

    Iverson doesn't deserve this, I think he could contribute on a contender. I hope the guy tears it up over there and someone gives him another chance.

    Man why does anyone feel sorry for this guy. The way he was raised, he beat the odds and had a great career.

    He made millions of dollars. And despite what everyone thinks, his handlers set up his finances so he will never be broke.

    Dude is where he is because on the court he is hard headed and selfish. He never evolved into a professional. He became a superstar, but not a proffesional.

    I think Iverson's doing this for the money. he may have mismanaged all of his earnings in the nba like antoine walker.

    Man, I feel sorry for him. I looked up to him as a kid and he was my favorite player growing up.

    He needs to go back to the NBA asap!

    You can't tell me a team like the Knicks or Timberwolves could'nt have used him.
