“I don’t even have money for a cheeseburger” - Allen Iverson :damn:

[Jerz-2]

That was a hoax, AI isn't banned at any of the three casinos, just some shyt a writer made up. He does have a gambling problem, though a serious one.

...but he is banned from the ones in Atlantic City.

Not just for having a gambling problem, but for him and his crew doin' belligerent shyt for no reason.....the stories are legendary.

Iverson was a great player, but dude made his own bed in every way.

It's hard to feel sorry for him, knowing how he blew his blessings.

 

[MikelArteta]

I was with Iverson a few weeks back when he came to Philly....He came through a spot I was DJing at with his peoples. He doesn't take many pictures or even talk to many people at all unless you're cool with him or his crew. After that Sixers appearance he basically stayed in Philly for a about a week and came through a bunch of Night clubs. I know he got paid for at least one of those appearances (so there's definitely plenty of ways for him to earn money out here, he'll be fine) but yeah I just told dude how he influenced me a little nikka in the NBA, he definitely appreciated it. But yeah it sucks for his career to have ended this way.

this nikka nearly 40 going to nightclubs still?

Whatever happen to his ghetto moms who got knocked up by one his homies

All that jewelry he used to rock on SLAM, now he could trade it in for some dough

at y'all blaming Tawana...y'all need to quit.

at y'all blaming Tawana...y'all need to quit.

She was down chic. I don't think she wanted to leave AI, but he was messing up so much it got to the point where she needed to leave him. And I am saying this as someone that hates women taking half.

 

[Marvel]

That's still AI. I can't stand the "bad fathering," but, he need to quit this; " I don't sympathize with millionaires" talk. Dude, like all pros, had a hunnid ppl in his pockets and, obvisiously, not enough watching his back.

He's still a grown man--smh @ the jewelry and he can't efford to eat.

But, don't act like money and fame solves your problem. Allen prolly never really dealt with his childhood issues because he fame, money & basketball distracted him.

What the drinking looks like; he can't stand himself, nor wants to hear that inner dialogue. I'm no expert--Like Chucks said "God is"--but, that's how I feel.

Forget a career, I hope his life gets together.




I don't see how modern fans can still say that with all their business out there

Dude been in the league since '96

What we forget about b-ball players is that; they still are workers

These bosses live wild, but; their check isn't depended on if they can run and jump and they still make a lot pass their 30's

Don't blame his wife; she suppose to get that money. And she seems to be the only one caring for the kids.

You just never know...I wouldn't say she was the main one, but I am sure she had access to his accounts if she was taking care of the kids, right? So, she should know if the account balance ain't right. Its easy to see what money AI is spending and what other people are taking. So if someone else was dipping in the account instead her and AI then those transactions could be stopped. Robin Givens and her mom took money from Tyson and stashed some money to the side and bought a crib without him knowing. Anything is in the realm of possibility. Its possible that she moved money to her own accounts right before she was ready to leave him which is done often when a woman is with a millionaire. Not necessarily wrong as it is her money, technically. But everybody (including AI) has some level of contribution to this.

 

[NZA]

im an ai stan and even i have to admit that he was just built to fukk up. probably needed a shrink at some point but was too stubborn to get one

 

[keond]

I seen this nikka at Wet Willies in Atlanta last year. He had on some baggy sweats, a tall tee, and the infamous do rag and hat combo. The Lakers were playing Denver and this bamma was watching the game halfway and drunk as fukk. I was like here this nikka is wasting money and looking like a assclown watching a game featuring his peers he could have literally been playing in.

you really think his wife is any better then he is. he went broke and she left a real woman would be with her man when he is at his worst.

2pac of the NBA


sh1t woulda been better if AI got killed in a driveby around 2005, his legacy would have been cemented



sometimes living a long life can tarnish ones image

 

[Majestic Pape]

She loved his ignorant, stupid ass when he was headed to the league Then when she got ahold of that money, all of sudden he was verbally abusive and a bad father lol...you believe that dumb shyt if you want. I can take one look at Iverson and know he been the same type of nikka since high school She knew what type of man he was, what she was getting into and she put up with it for a reason No sympathy for gold diggers.

I will say this in her (possible) defense though...

This could simply be a case of her maturing into an adult and Iverson never really doing that. A lot (most) women will take a lot of disrespectful type of shyt in their teenage years and early 20s that they won't be taking when they're in their thirties and have teenage children.

what!

 

[Greenhornet]

iverson hardly ever counted ...

 

[FTBS]

I dunno leaving all your balling gear and clothes in each hotel for every road game and just buying new shyt when you hit each city from 1996-2010 plus gambling plus buying crazy shyt.

It's really not that hard to fukk over any amount of money when no fukks are given. Even if nikkas were in taking from him it's his fault for providing them with access and not being on top of his shyt.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I remember there was a thread on here about how the move "Above The Rim" reminded him of AI's story. Anywho he did it to himself
