But you won't find anybody who says Mikan and Cousy are athletically comparable to anybody on stun's team so far. I'm not going to go back and forth about it.

“Just give me a training camp,” he said. “Maybe I’ve rubbed people the wrong way as far as saying the things I’ve said in my life and in my career. But if any team needs me to help try and win a championship in any capacity, I’m waiting.”
He might have a long wait. Throw in a possible work stoppage with NBA owners and players far apart on a new labor deal, and Iverson might again be forced to look outside the NBA for a team. He signed a $4 million, two-year contract with Besiktas. But Iverson made it clear in a phone interview late Wednesday night, his first priority is the NBA.
“If that doesn’t happen, I just want to play basketball, so I’ve got to weigh my options and do what’s best for me and my career,” he said. “If that doesn’t happen, I don’t want to not play basketball. I don’t have any more years to be wasting.”
Iverson insisted he enjoyed his stay in Turkey.

iverson isnt retired or else he would have been picked 3 rounds ago. he played last season overseas and made recent comments about wanting to play again in the nba. very different situation than shaq who publicly announced his retirement.

Haha sorry bro, KJ is too nice to pass up
SWEDD523 wrote:As for AI, I never picked him because I don't think he fits any championship team. I don't have any problem with him being picked. I don't think he'll return to the NBA imo.
- Player selected must be retired, either didn't play in 2010-11 in NBA or any other league or officially announced retirement ala Shaq.
Retirement
On December 10, 2008, Mobley announced his retirement due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that was disclosed in a physical exam.[8] This is the same heart illness suffered by Reggie Lewis, who died in 1993, and Hank Gathers, who died in 1990. Although he retired as a Knick, Mobley did not play a game for the team before retiring.[9][10]
