全明星后卫阿伦-艾弗森(Allen Iverson)的个人经理在当地时间周三下午宣布由于没有一个明显的追求者要签下他，艾弗森将准备退役。
艾弗森上周曾以为很接近与纽约尼克斯签约，可是在最后关头尼克斯队高层改变了主意。
“美妙的职业生涯。一件对他家人很正确的事。”艾弗森的经理莫尔(Gary Moore)说，“这一切能够表明阿伦受到不公平的待遇不是什么秘密。现在的事实是他的家人需要他。”
莫尔表示艾弗森会在随后正式宣布退役的消息。但是有不少联盟消息源仍然坚称，至少目前，艾弗森仍然会听取有哪些球队有意签下他。
莫尔说艾弗森正在做好他不会再打球的准备。
“在费城的岁月让人难忘，”莫尔说，“他从来不会忘记那里的人群……他会作为一名76人退役。”
另据ESPN报道，艾弗森在一份申明中写到，“我想要宣布我从NBA退役的计划。我一直认为当我离开比赛，一定是因为我无法用我惯常的方式帮助球队。然而这并不是问题所在。”
“我仍旧热爱比赛，我渴望出场。我强烈的感觉我仍然能在极高的水平下竞争。”
致我的球迷：
我宣布将从NBA退役。一直以来，我以为当我离开比赛的时候，原因会是我无法再以习惯的方式帮助球队。然而，事实却并非如此。
我依然挚爱比赛，想要比赛，我依然有能力。我确信自己仍然可以在最高水平上打球。
离开比赛后，我将能够更好地陪伴妻子和孩子。我在球场上取得的一切都无法与此相比。我一直在祈祷这一天，并认为这是给我的最大的礼物。
我要感谢锐步公司的员工们，感谢你们总是允许我做我自己，感谢你们在我职业生涯的起起伏伏中一直支持我。我在NBA度过了13个美好的赛季，对此我很感恩。
我感谢各个地方的我的球迷，你们在我的整个职业生涯中一直陪伴着我。没有你们就没有我。你们一定要知道，我从心底感激你们的支持。谢谢你们！
致Michael Jordan、Magic Johnson、Isiah Thomas、Charles barkley和Larry Bird，你们的比赛使我看到了比赛的魅力，这种感觉将一直留在我的心底。
致我的母亲，您鼓励我、激励我每天投入比赛，并致我的家人和从一开始就站在我身边的朋友们。谢谢你们！
致我的中学教练Michael Bailey、乔治城大学的教练John Thompson、Larry Brown教练以及所有我的教练、队友、管理人、老板和员工，你们是我职业生涯的组成部分，也谢谢你们！
我想特别感谢孟菲斯的人们。我没有在主场为你们热爱的灰熊打一场比赛，但是我想要你们知道我非常感激球队老板Michael Heisley给我的这个机会，和你们对我的支持。我祝愿孟菲斯灰熊能够获得比赛的成功。
最后，致费城：身穿76er球衣的那段时光给我留下了美好的回忆。致费城球迷：谢谢你们。你们的声音将一直成为我耳边的乐曲。
上帝保佑你们！
ALLEN IVERSON

TO ALL OF MY FANS:
I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case.
I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.
Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my wife and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I’ve ever achieved on the basketball court. I have prayed for this day and I see it as my greatest gift.
I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always allowing me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all the ups and downs. I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I am grateful.
I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me throughout my entire career. Without you, there would be no me. You should all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be forever in my heart.
To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all of my family and friends who stood by me from the beginning. Thank you!
To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at Georgetown University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches, teammates, administrators, owners and staff who’ve been a part of my career, Thank you as well!
I’d like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis. I never played a home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know how much I appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in Michael Heisley, and the support of the city. I wish the Memphis Grizzlies’ organization all of the success that the game has to offer.
And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of my days in a Sixers’ uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice will always be music to my ears.
God Bless all of you,
ALLEN IVERSON |
