Teary return for Iverson

Allen Iverson is undoubtedly one of the toughest little big man in the NBA in the last 10-15 years. He displayed many great plays and provided NBA fans with crazy over the top behaviors that society find odd and entertaining. In the last 3 years, Allen Iverson skills have started to diminish where his age was becoming a factor. He was no longer the fast guard he used to be,where he used dived for the ball every time it rolls down the court; he became slower and turnovers were increasing every game. During his early NBA career, Allen Iverson have changed the game of basketball in the NBA. Allen Iverson have started many trends in the NBA that many professional athletes are still doing today. He showed heart and the passion for the game. Although Allen Iverson have given the NBA a fresh new look, he also displayed many deviant behaviors that many rejected and disapprove. This year have been a roller-coaster ride for Allen Iverson, he was released Memphis Grizzles and was unemployed. No team wanted to pick him up because of his history of be deviant behaviors. Allen Iverson was recently singed to the first team he played for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he cried during the interview. I feel that the reason why he cried during the interview was not because he was playing for the team that drafted him, I believe he cried because he knew his career is ending and he knew he is not the player he used to be.
