[板友]SWEETSMOKE When you look across the league, you still see cornrows, tattoos, arm sleeves, headbands and hip-hop culture and then you will realize there is someone missing. 放眼整个联盟，你依旧可以看到许多辫子头啦..刺青..袖套..头带，以及hiphop文化， 突然的你发现什麽东西不对了，少了什麽东西。 The king of all that, the player who revolutionized the league his way, whether you liked it or not, the dude who broke ankles for 13 straight years and played every game as if it was his last is not there. 这一切的源头，用他的方式带起联盟革命性改变的一个球员，不管你爱不爱，这个连 续13年虐待对手脚踝，把每一场球当作最後一场来打的老兄都已经不再了。 He is no where to be found and his story is quite tragic; in a way, he is the forgotten one, the league is missing the one and only Allen Iverson 就某个层面来说，其实他的故事是场悲剧，他是被遗忘的那一个，联盟遗忘了唯一的 也是独一无二的Allen Iverson. In the 2007-08 season Iverson played on a 50 win Denver Nuggets squad and averaged 26.4 ppg and 7.2 apg. 再07-08年赛季，AI再金块队打出了50胜且场均26.4分 7.2次助功。 At the start of the 2009 season he was shipped to Detroit and everything went downhill. 09年赛季AI被送到了底特律，然後一切都开始走下坡了。 Iverson was put into what he described as "the worst situation of his career" and his reputation was unfairly tarnished by that season. AI处在了一个所谓"生涯最糟糕的处境"，他的声誉也在这个赛季不公义的被抹黑了。 He went into free agency and signed with Memphis Grizzlies; it only lasted three games and it looked like the end for Iverson. AI加入自由球员市场并与灰熊队签约；不过三场球之後，看起来就像是AI职业生涯 的终点了。 A month later though things were looking good as Iverson came back to the Philadelphia 76ers. 虽然在一个月之後，事情感觉有了好转，AI回到了费城。 He was happy and it was a good situation; he was playing a very team-oriented game shooting only 11 shots per game and running a Princeton Offense. 他很快乐，且况状也好了很多；他打的非常团队，场均只有11次出手，配合团队打着 普林斯顿战术。 This all stopped when his daughter came down with an illness and he left the team for the season. 但是一切都在他女儿病倒之後停下了，随後他也为此结束了球季。 Iverson decided that he was done with the Sixers and both sides agreed to a buy out, however that same day his wife divorced him. AI认为他跟七六人之间已经结束了，而双方也同意了买断合约，无论如何..他老婆 也在同一天跟提出了离婚。 Reports surfaced that Iverson had a drinking and gambling problem and that he was broke. 更有报导指出，AI有酗酒且赌博的问题..更报导他已经破产了。 After receiving no offers from NBA teams, Iverson signed with Besiktas Cola of the Turkish Basketball League. 在没有任何球队对AI有兴趣的状况下，IVERSON跟一之名为Besiktas Cola的土而其职业 联盟球队签约。 He played just 10 games in Turkey before a lesion was discovered in his right calf, and right when he was starting to adjust to the European style of play, he was forced to come back to the United States for treatment. 在经过十场比赛之後，他的右小腿出毛病了，不过就在AI刚刚适应了欧洲篮球打法之後， 他就被迫必须回国接受小腿的治疗。 Iverson averaged 14.3 PPG and five apg in 31 MPG playing in Turkey, shooting 44.2 percent from the field and was a hero to the Turkish fans. IVERSON在31分钟里平均14.3分5次助攻，命中率44.2%，他更是土而其球迷的英雄。 Last week ESPN reported that Iverson has recovered from his injury and is expected to return to his Turkish squad shortly. 据ESPN上周的报导AI正从伤病中逐渐康复，且在过不久就会再度回到赛场上。 Who knows what will happened when he goes back to Turkey, he probably won't be playing 30 mpg until the playoffs and his 35-year-old body will definitely take time to adjust back to basketball pace. 天知道有什麽事情会发生要是他真的又回到赛场上，说不定在季後赛前他一场球不会上 到三十分钟，且AI已经35岁了，是需要花点时间适应比赛节奏的。 But one thing that has to be asked: will Allen Iverson ever be back in the NBA? 但是人们心中还有一项共同的疑问： AI还会再度回到NBA吗? Some say Iverson was blackballed from the league—was he too hip-hop for the league? 有人认为AI被联盟打压了，因为他对NBA来讲太"HIPHOP"了。 Did David Stern decide that he has had enough of the Iverson entourage and the Iverson defiance? 是不是STERN觉得他受够IVEROSN了呢? If this is the case, then it is very sad and says a lot about the league. Stern controls the media and the media not only hates Iverson but respects Stern, so we wouldn't ever know for sure 如果这是真的，那真的是太鸟了。STERN掌控了媒体，而媒体讨厌IVERSON尊重STERN 所以我们当然永远都不会知道真相。 But say there is nothing going on behind closed doors; can Iverson play out the season in Turkey and show that he still has it, then return to the league in the off-season? 但不管台面下有什麽事情发生拉。AI真的能完成在海外的这个赛季并且证明他还是有料， 然後在下个赛季回到NBA吗? Iverson's had a lot of time off from basketball now and his body could healed up enough to play 30 mpg on an NBA team next season. 现在AI得到了很多的休息时间，他的身体也可以有适度的复原来适应说不定下个赛季在 NBA的30分钟上场时间。 The league needs Iverson; they should not let AI go out like this, someone has to make the call. NBA需要IVERSON；他们不该让AI的故事就这麽结束，该有个人为AI打通电话。 If guys like Shaq, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter can still start, Iverson should be given that chance as well. 假如那些家伙..像是SHAQ，Mcgrady Vince还是能在NBA先发，那AI也值得同等的机会 Some say he went to Turkey for the money; Iverson didn't really make a push to sign with an NBA team this past off-season, all signs point toward him having financial problems and it's not surprising, as Iverson basically lived in casinos when he was in the league. 有些人说AI到海外打球不过是为了钱，但是AI其实并没有很努力的尝试跟NBA球队签下 合约，许多象徵都指向了AI目前有金钱上的危机，报导指出AI根本就把赌场当家了。 But could he have really have blown over $200 million dollars? 但是他真的有可能把两百万美金通通挥霍掉吗? His Denver home was recently foreclosed and he has a store on eBay where he sells some of his old products. 他在丹佛的房子目前目前是拿去抵押了，他也有个帐号在EBAY专门拿来卖他以前的一些 商品。 No matter what is said, one thing is certain: Allen Iverson certainly doesn't want to go out like this. 不管事实到底是什麽，有一件事是确定的，AI不想就这样结束。 He came to the league in 1996, intimidating everyone in his path; the conservatives were afraid of him, defenders were afraid of him but the fans loved him. 在96年他加入NBA以来，他的行事风格惊世骇俗，大家都怕他，但是他的球迷爱他。 He was misunderstood and it followed him his entire career and is probably the main reason he is out of the league now. 在他的球员生涯里面他总是被误解，或许这也是他目前不能在NBA里继续打球的原因 His whole career he did it his way and stayed real; he made his style mainstream and set trends like no athlete ever has. He was the Tupac Shakur of basketball. 在他的职业生涯里，他走自己的路，并始终保持真诚，他创造了自己的风格创造了 不同於任何运动员的风格，他就像是篮球界的饶舌传奇2PAC一样。 If Iverson is to call it a career after he finishes up in Turkey, then he will still go down as one of the most exciting scorers ever. 就算AI决定在海外的生涯结束後就退休，他依旧会是史上最好最令人兴奋的得分手之一。 He is a legendary athlete and is a bona fide first ballot Hall of Famer and I can promise you he will have one of the most interesting Hall of Fame speeches in history. 他会是史上最传奇最真诚的名人堂成员，我还可以向你保证，他一定会有一场史上最有趣 的名人堂演说。 Iverson's impact will be felt in the league for a very long time; the sleeves, cornrows, tattoos, the hip-hop culture are always going to be in the league and this is all because of Allen Iverson. IVERSON效应还是会一直在联盟里发酵，不论是袖套..辫子头刺青 HIPHOP文化，这些东西会 一直存在在联盟里面，而一切都是因为------Allen Iverson. 原文 : http://tinyurl.com/3mn6c4x --
