Allen Iverson Retirement Statement

Hooped Up | November 26, 2009

Personally, I don’t think the NBA story of Allen Iverson will be complete without a comeback so we should start gushing too much about A.I being done forever, but for now. Here is his official retirement statement he released through the official Stephen A. Smith website.

Bruce Bowen has known for some time that this day would come. And now that it’s here, he’s feeling surprisingly calm about it. The former Spurs great is retiring from the NBA.

“I’m very happy,” Bowen, 38, said this morning. “It hasn’t been difficult. I was content about it and understood it was going to happen.”

At a news conference this afternoon at the Yardley’s Salon and Spa, the business he owns with his wife, Yardley, Bowen will officially hang up his sneakers and move toward a future that will still include ties to basketball.

The Heat Retire Alonzo Mourning’s Number

Hooped Up | March 31, 2009

For the first number ever to be retired by the Miami Heat franchise, they sure picked a good one!

Last night, during halftime of the Orlando versus Miami game. Alonzo Mourning’s #33 was raised to the rafters of American Airlines Arena in a ceremony that lasted 43 minutes, honouring Zo’s stellar 15 year career. Mourning played for the Heat from 1995-2002 and then again from 2005-2008, winning a NBA Championship in the process.

The Heat franchise really went all out for Zo’s ceremony and deservedly so! Every single night he left it on the floor and was always a beast. Although injuries is what ended his career, Mourning should have zero regrets walking away from the game he played so hard.

Alonzo Mourning Retires

Hooped Up | January 22, 2009

According to the Palm Beach Post, seven-time All Star Alonzo Mourning officially retired from the NBA today after 16 years. Over the course of his decorated career, Mourning was twice named the Defensive Player of the Year and helped the Miami Heat win their only championship in 2006.

In 2003, Mourning retired from the NBA due to complications from his kidney disease and underwent a successful kidney transplant to return to the NBA. However in in 2007, Mourning then suffered a torn patella tendon and quadriceps muscle in his right leg during a game against Atlanta and today he decided to end his second comeback attempt.

“It’s not a sad day, but it’s a day to celebrate; it really is,” Mourning, 38, said at American Airlines Arena.”I can think of a million people right now that would have loved to have walked the path I walked the last 16 years.”

During his career Mourning played for the Hornets, Nets and Heat and averaged 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Dude was a real warrior! 

Good luck Zo!

PJ Brown finally made it official and retired from basketball while you were booze shopping on December 31, 2008.  Brown played 15 seasons in the NBA and averaged 9.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg and 1 bpg over 1089 games and had a solid pro career. Over his career, Brown laced them up for the New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat, Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets, Chicago Bulls and was a big part of the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics team. Brown had this to say about going out on top to the Boston Globe;

“My career ended June 17,” Brown said of the day he became a world champion when the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2008 NBA title.

A classy ending for a classy guy indeed!
