The Answer has now decided to call it a career. Allen Iverson, a 10-time NBA All-Star who guided Philadelphia to the 2001 NBA Finals, announced plans to retire in a statement released on a website.

Iverson announced he was ending his NBA career after a failed comeback attempt with Memphis. He played three games this season with Memphis before taking a leave of absence to attend to personal matters, then was waived by the Grizzliers after he and the team agreed to part ways.

Iverson was unhappy with a reserve role with Memphis as he had been in Detroit the seaon before.

Iverson, a four-time NBA season scoring champion, ranks fifth in NBA career scoring average with 27.1 points a game. He averaged 17.4 points a game last year for Detroit.
