Tracy McGrady retires

One of the most exciting players that played in the NBA and former two time scoring champion Tracy Mcgrady officially retires.

Tracy Mcgrady last played in San Antonio Spurs which he could have earned his first ring if the Spurs won the NBA championship vs the Miami Heat. McGrady was one of those best player that ever played in the league in his generation.

A lot of fans would be excited when McGrady  is playing. Since he could display an onslaught kind of offense and have stellar performance. Among of McGrady's rivals during his era were Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan and a lot of future hall of fame.

McGrady would be one of those guys that would love to compete all night. If his opponent would go a berserk offense he would also top that kind of playing level. He just love to play the game despite his injuries.

McGrady would display offensive arsenals whenever he wanted to take control of a game. Almost all sorts kind of offense McGrady can offer the fans an exciting game every night.  If you watch this guy play you would definitely get the entertainment of basketball. A clutch player and a very competitive athlete that's Tracy Mcgrady.  If not for his injuries Tracy McGrady could have been a champion. 
So thanks for the game TMAC!

Allen Iverson Officially Retires

The former Nba MVP(2001) Allen "The Answer" Iverson officially retires as a professional basketball player. One of the most exciting players to ever played in the Nba formally retires. Allen Iverson last played was 2010 under his first team the Philadelphia Sixers.

After a 1 season deal Iverson he was not able to get a new contract. And on 2010-2011 Iverson played in Besiktas Turkey and signed a $4 million deal.

One of the most best ankle breakers to ever played would be missed. He was such a good ball handler and a blitz of a second he could go coast to coast. Known for his crossover signature moves and lightning fast movements. Allen Iverson captured the hearts of many Nba fans during his prime days.

You could just imagine how he crossover those opponents leaving them on the floor. Or throw those fancy passes to his teammates for an ally-oop. This makes the crowd go crazy and wild the moment Iverson would try to take over the game.

The best part of him was that he has his own signature moves. That killer crossover that's simply ridiculous to guard and tame. Plus he is very competitive and determined to win no matter how big his enemies are. He will just try to attack the basket and get fouls to make contact.

That's why Iverson are one of the few players in the NBA to suffer a lot of injuries during his
professional career.

I thought Allen Iverson would have another great comeback maybe for just 1 season or 2. But lately he was in sort of financial problems and issues. So the fans were really expecting for him to comeback but it was just all false hyped. And I hope he will be a future hall of famer.

• NBA Rookie of the year(1997)
