Allen Iverson Still Spending Money Like He’s in the NBA

Iverson's divorce put his financial woes out in the streets, kind of like he did his wife back in the day

Pound for pound, Allen Iverson can be considered one the NBA’s greatest players. Selected as the No. 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, the prolific guard went on to be named the Rookie of the Year in his inaugural season. During the course of his 15-year career, Iverson has been an 11-time All-Star, four-time scoring champion, and two-time All-Star Game MVP. His playoff scoring average is 29.7 points per game—second only to Michael Jordan — and he took his team all the way to the NBA Finals in 2001 but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. Despite never winning a championship, Iverson was rated the fifth greatest NBA shooting guard of all time by ESPN in 2008.

But the former basketball superstar is mired in debt. Iverson and his wife have publicly battled each other, then reconciled, but this time it seems like it’s over. The two are in the middle of a nasty divorce and are working out the details of the settlement, but according to documents filed in Georgia, Iverson has little to offer because he spends way more than brings in.

According to the documents, Iverson brings in $62,500 a month, but he spends $358,376.66. He spends $125,749.33 paying his creditors – like his jeweler and his mortgage (which is scheduled to be auctioned off today) back. But, his personal expenses are the killer. Iverson spends $10,000 a month on clothing, $10,000 on grocery, a stack on dry cleaning, $5,000 on entertainment, $5,000 on eating out and other stuff — all according to TMZ.

The silver lining in all of this – he still has his Maybach, which is paid off and worth around $300,000 to $400,000.

Um, swag?

He’s spending like he still has the $150 million he made during his career, but alas that is gone. Now, he finds himself $295,876.66 in the hole each month.

TMZ’s got the full story.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night."
