Monday eye-opener: How should Iverson be remembered?

Monday eye-opener: How should Iverson be remembered?
Good morning.
What should we make of Allen Iverson leaving the Memphis Grizzlies?

The superstar guard has been disgruntled with his role with the team and wasn't happy last year with his role in Detroit.
However, all reports say that Iverson is leaving the Grizzlies for personal and not playing reasons, and the team owner backs that up.
“I’m not going to get into the personal reason but it has nothing to do with the other stuff,” owner Michael Heisley said. “I’m the guy who said he could go. It’s a real family issue that I don’t think should be reported.”
ESPN's Chad Ford wonders if this is a divorce not a separation and Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal says the superstar is contemplating retirement.
Ever since he was a prep football-basketball phenom in Hampton, Va.,  Iverson has been the go-to guy with every team he has played on.

But the mileage has added up and Iverson has been asked to take a reduced role on the past couple of teams he's played on. That has not been his style and he's let management know that.
ESPN's Bill Simmons, in the recently published The Book of Basketball, rates Iverson the 29th best player of all-time.
He was the 'Answer' so we'll ask the question.
If this is a divorce and not a separation and Iverson's career is over, how should he be remembered by hoop fans?
