A lot of guys grow up. If he could he would have a job in front of the camera.

Not being well spoken is not cool past age 30.

When you hear he made over 150 million dollars in 15 years and is now broke at 36 how can you fail to realize that he spent a lot?

The 30 for 30 on Iverson is probably my favorite one I've seen so far.

What if I told you a pot smoking, practice hating, 6 foot point guard would make 160 million over a 15 year career and be broke by age 36...


There is one on him already, and it was great.

It is a reference to the fact Iverson was the toughest SOB in NBA history, and despite his small frame, he went into the lane and took and extreme beating from the big guys inside. He was a tenacious animal, and one of the most enjoyable players to watch in league history.


Virginians say he was an awesome running QB and a great DB. Highlights with stats

Wonder how his life might have been different if he had played football? Could he have been another Primetime?

Someone gets it. There's a reason that you never hear of guys from middle class homes going broke...

I guess he didn't learn much with his free education from Georgetown.

wow, Allen Iverson has to be a complete imbecile to be broke. Dude had so many endorsements on top of his huge contracts....how?? according to NBA reference he collected appox $154million in salary over his career. amazing


154 in salary... and probably close to half that in endorsements over the years.

Blowing 200 Million (approx) isn't easy, but I'm sure he isn't the first person...

You're like the idiot from Pootie Tang that states the obvious after it's already been discussed.
