NOV. 25, 2009
TO ALL OF MY FANS:

I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball
Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be
because I couldn�t help my team the way that I was accustomed to.
However, that is not the case.

I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a
whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at
the highest level.

Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my
wife and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I�ve ever
achieved on the basketball court. I have prayed for this day and I see
it as my greatest gift.

I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always
allowing me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all
the ups and downs. I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I
am grateful.

I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me
throughout my entire career. Without you, there would be no me. You
should all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my
heart. Thank you!

To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and
Larry Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be
forever in my heart.

To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all
of my family and friends who stood by me from the beginning. Thank you!

To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at
Georgetown University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches,
teammates, administrators, owners and staff who�ve been a part of my
career, Thank you as well!

I�d like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis. I never
played a home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know
how much I appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in
Michael Heisley, and the support of the city. I wish the Memphis
Grizzlies� organization all of the success that the game has to offer.

And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of
my days in a Sixers� uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice will
always be music to my ears.

God Bless all of you,

Kai Haberzettl

To quote a @hoopshype tweet: "No player should show up for practice
tomorrow as a way to honor Iverson."

Iverson is the Anti-Fish.

That may have something to do with his personality.
