Allen Iverson: “The Answer”

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

"The Answer"

Allen Iverson, nicknamed “The Answer”, is known for attacking the rim and going up against anybody, leading to points and sometimes hard fouls.  Unfortunately A.I.’s aggressive style of play has put a lot of wear and tear on his diminutive 6 foot, 165 pound frame.  

Now, a new injury has developed while Allen Iverson was playing in Turkey, and this ankle injury may jeopardize the rest of A.I.’s astounding career.  Iverson hurt his ankle back on January 12th, and came back to the U.S. for surgery.  When the injury first occurred, A.I. tweeted that he would return, but now it seems like he is really contemplating retirement.  If he does retire, it would be a very sad end of story to such an amazing career.  

To sum up his illustrious career, he will go down as the best player of all-time 6-feet or under, and the things that he has accomplished individually will make him a surefire Hall of Famer.
