‘The Answer returns to Philadelphia!’ Appearing Saturday, May 9th, from 2:00PM til 6:00PM.
After high school, Allen Iverson attended Georgetown University and was the first athlete to leave the Hoyas for the NBA, after only his sophomore year. During his time there he set the record for career scoring average (22.9 points per game) and was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Year both seasons. Following two successful years at Georgetown, Iverson was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the number one overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft. The 1996 Draft has gone down as one of the greatest draft classes in the history of the NBA. Allen was named Rookie of the Year in 1996-97. He is also an eleven-time All-Star, two- time All-Star MVP and League MVP. Allen is a four time Scoring Champion and his regular season career scoring average of 26.7 points per games ranks sixth alltime, in addition, his playoff career scoring average of 29.7 points per game is second only to Michael Jordan. In 2001, Iverson also led his team to the NBA Finals. Additionally, he represented the United States in the 2004 Summer Olympics, winning the Bronze Medal.
Allen Iverson isn't exactly a pillar of financial responsibility.
Much has been made in recent years about Iverson's being broke (or maybe not broke), and there are few expensive ventures you could rattle off involving The Answer that would make me stop in my tracks and say, "Nope. No way he did that." If it cost a lot and was around in the mid-2000s, Iverson did it.
Allen Iverson documentary, fittingly called "Iverson," will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday night. The trailer for the film was just released featuring interviews from Dwyane Wade, Tom Brokaw and Larry Brown who says, "As a coach, dealing with him on a daily basis, nobody trains you for that." Of course, Iverson himself gets a platform to speak as well. The doc is from first time director Zatella Beatty.
The documentary looks at Iverson's high school years (already the source for ESPN's "No Crossover") to his playing time and beyond.
Be careful. You might close your eyes and then watch this new Reebok commercial and think you’ve taken a time machine back to 1996.
With a new logo comes a new ad campaign and that’s exactly what Reebok has done with the assistance of one-time NBA greats Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson and Shawn Kemp.
The 1:17 spot features Shaq working with comedian Lil’ Duval in a barber shop, though the former Los Angeles Lakers center isn’t exactly thrilled with how Duval wears his pants. The two get into an argument over his sagging drawers with Duval making fun of Shaq’s overly tight shorts, comparing him to Shawn Kemp.
That’s where Kemp (I guess in disguise) appears, promoting the Reignman before Bad Boy rapper French Montana makes a small cameo.
The spot hits its pinnacle though when Iverson makes his grand entrance – apparently getting a haircut while wearing a hat.
Allen Iverson's ex-wife is sick and tired of dragging him to court to squeeze out child support ... she's asking a judge to make him cough up the next 13 years worth RIGHT NOW -- a cool $1.2 MILLION.
But with an overseas stint and a few failed attempts to draw interest from NBA teams, he will officially announce his retirement this week, according to SLAM.
Allen Iverson has announced that he remains hopeful of getting one last shot at the NBA but says he's turning down the opportunity to launch his comeback in the NBA Development League.
"The Answer" himself, Allen Iverson, might just be in the house tonight when the Sixers face the Celtics in a win-or-die Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Sixers currently trail Boston in the series, 3-2.
The next chapter in Allen Iverson's basketball life is set to begin. His new squad? Pablo Nuevo. He'll be playing in the XXXII Torneo de Baloncesto superior de Santiago. The deal is only good for one month, and he is expected to make $22,000.
Allen Iverson's bank account has been commandeered by a Georgia judge ... who's garnishing the former NBA star's earnings so A.I. can repay a 6-figure debt to his flashy GA jeweler.
Allen Iverson's divorce has taken a nasty turn -- according to his estranged wife, the former NBA star went on a massive spending spree after she filed for divorce, leaving her completely penniless.
Nine years ago today we sat in the Philadelphia 76ers press conference room and talked about....yes, PRACTICE. One of the greatest sound bites in all of sports history, however not so good for the 76ers going forward from that moment. You can't help but laugh, get mad, feel some sort of feeling toward this video if you are a 76ers fan. Could have Allen Iverson been a better "team" player, yeah maybe, that's up for debate, but he does have a point too. If he won championships you wouldn't be talking about his practicing if he didn't show up, but since he didn't win them it's he's not practicing, which who know if him making himself better would have won more. I agree maybe he could have made other's better, but we could go back and forth all day. Until then enjoy!
