Multiple NBA sources say Allen Iverson is facing alcohol and gambling issues that have derailed his career and threaten his post-basketball well-being, Stephen A. Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports in a column published Monday.
Allen Iverson played only 25 games for the 76ers before stepping away for the season.
According to multiple NBA sources, there is widespread concern that the four-time NBA scoring champion, who left the Philadelphia 76ers in February to deal with his daughter's illness and will not return this season, "will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away," Smith reported.
I have to admit, I am shocked. SHOCKED! I mean, he won FOUR scoring titles? Wow, I wouldn't have believed that. As for the gambling and alcohol, yeah, I certainly believe that part.
