AI And His "Issues"

Allen Iverson is facing alcohol and gambling issues that have derailed his career, according to a number of sources.

Stephen A. Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote Monday that the issues could threaten Iverson's post-basketball well-being.

Iverson's gambling problem is serious enough that he has been banished from casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City, N.J., according to Smith.

Sources are concerned that Iverson "will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away."

Allen Iverson's wife filed for divorce after eight years of marriage this week and his drinking may have been a factor.

The divorce petition said the marriage was "irretrievably broken" and that Tawanna Iverson wants custody of their five children.

Stephen A. Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote on Friday that "Iverson has been troubled by excessive drinking," according to several NBA sources.

His problems were mentioned a while ago like when he was in Detroit and no one cared then...but now what they said turns out to be true and people are like "Didn't see that coming"

GTFO

To my fans: You all know that my life isn't perfect. I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do

from time to time. However, I will stand tall like always with "rhino" thick skin. Even though I have become used to hearing people say

things about me that aren't true, it still hurts. I encourage you to continue your ongoing support and I want you to trust that this is

another obstacle in my life that, with God's help I will overcome. God Bless You All.

He can see he has a problem so I respect that. AI will get back, maybe not in the league, but life wise.
