AI’s time has come and gone with the Grizzlies.  After just 3 games and a few on and off the court matters the Grizzlies and Allen Iverson agreed to part ways.  In this past offseason, Iverson agreed on a 1-year/$3 million deal with the Grizzlies but after just 10 team games (3 of which he played in) he will earn the pro-rated amount.

Iverson left the Grizzlies on November 7th to deal with some personal matters off the court.  Everyone was speculating that is had to do with his lack of starting because he was whining about that around the same time of his leave from the team.  Apparantly these problems are more personal than just starting for a 2-8 team.  Iverson averaged 12.3 points per game during that 3 game span.  I feel that AI should just walk away from the game and have his legacy as a warrior on the court live on.  He is unlikely to start on another team and everyone already knows that he will complain if he doesn’t start, so AI just hang up the Reeboks and call it quits man.
