DSR has retired from competitive basketball due to health reasons. Good luck to him the rest of his life, glad he has a degree to lean back on. http://instagram.com/p/BUrTL-aAxfv

Love this kid. Will always be a big fan of his. Glad that he is doing whatever he has to do to take care of himself.

I'm sorry to hear that he's dealing with a health issue that's keeping him from pursuing his intended path. I hope that, whatever it is, it's manageable. Best of health and best of luck with whatever new path he chooses. Just a thought: a high level athlete with a graduate degree in finance could be very attractive to pros in need of a money manager. Hoya Saxa!

It seems as if our guards have had some serious health issues in the recent past. I hope DSR recovers his health and has a productive life, as I do for Chris and Austin (also Tyler and Jeff).

Kevin Durant never played against prime AI, don't think he can really say that. I could see the argument that Kyrie is more skilled, especially when it comes to finishing. But AI was an athletic anomaly, and that alone makes up for whatever minor difference in skill that exists between the two. Also, it's also important to remember that AI is almost exclusively the reason why all these pgs play the way they do today. Everyone is in their own way copying his style. They may have added a couple things to his game, basketball is a game of constant evolution. But to say Kyrie better is dumb imo, just a different time.

But, with the way the game is called today, AI's numbers would be even more gaudy than they are right now. I've still never seen a player as quick as Allen. Kyrie is a great player on a really, really good team. AI was the man on crappy ones. Everyone knew he was going to score and they couldn't do much to prevent him from doing so.

Kyrie is a great player on a really, really good team. AI was the man on crappy ones. Everyone knew he was going to score and they couldn't do much to prevent him from doing so. Iverson would be like a better version of Boston's Isiaih Thomas in the modern NBA. Nobody would be able to stay in front of him at all with no hand checking, and he would finish at the rim at will since bigs cannot headhunt little guys in the lane today. Think of all the uncalled hard contact AI took in the lane. those would all be fouls today - he would either shoot 20 foul shots a game, or get great looks at the rim if teams chose not to foul him. Teams would have to throw two guys at him off every ball screen. If he went iso, teams would have to completely collapse into the lane when he blew by his man, and he would get double digit assists a game hitting wide open corner three shooters with passes. He would probably average (in his prime) close to 30 points and 10+ assists a game, maybe even a little more. And Iverson was an infinitely better defender than Kyrie. At his best, Kyrie is a mediocre defender. Much of the time, he is a bad defender. Iverson had his flaws as a defender (gambled a lot, inattentive too often), but when he was focused he was much, much better than Kyrie.

Can you imagine AI and Lebron together? Scary... I actually could. Lebron will get his triple double then hide in the corner to let AI do work when its crunch time.

Hopefully they'll make NBA teams that they sign with. If not, G-League or overseas it is.
