No not really a big deal at all. If he was any kind of a big deal, he's already be on a team. He'll tear something in his knee within the month anyways.

Allen Iverson Has No Answer For Financial Woes - Yahoo! News

llen Iverson has reportedly gone from 11-time NBA all-star to financial deadbeat. The Philadelphia 76ers icon was recently ordered to pay over $860,000 to a jeweler, and he couldn't cut a check.

A Georgia judge has ordered the seizing of Iverson's bank account, so the relatively little money he has left will be garnished, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This isn't just another formerly famous athlete blowing a ton of cash. Iverson was among the biggest superstars in the NBA, earning more than $154 million during a professional career that began back in 1996. (This doesn't include endorsement money and other business deals.)

How did Iverson lose so much?

Loyal to his friends from a youth spent in Virginia, Iverson traveled with one of the biggest posses in professional sports. Bill Lyon of the Philadelphia Inquirer says the group has as many as 50 people for some Sixers home games. "A.I." took a hair stylist on the road with him and also loved to buy jewelry for himself and his beloved mother, Ann Iverson.

Raptors exposing Lin for what he really is. I love it. Getting so tired of this Linsanity.

Dwayne Casey showing the reason I wanted him for the Pacers coach dude is a defensive genius. He is doubling lin and he cant handle it force Lin left and double him and he makes a lot of TOs

WOW what a game Lin hits the game winning 3


Great job by Mike D putting Shumpert on Calderon

Shumpert is one of the best defenders I have seeen he single handily changed the game just on defense.

Too bad he isnt very smart on offense yet but it should come in time

games like this is why I love lg pass great game but the Raptors really choked terrible down the stretch rushing things.

As much as I'm enjoying this story, Lin has almost as bad an assist:turnover ratio as Westbrook. Thankfully, they've been playing absolute crap (minus the Lakers) during this stretch so it hasn't really hurt the team as badly as it should have.

What has happened to Asik? Idk, maybe it's because of smaller lineups we've faced, but it seems like he's fallen out of Thibs favor the last few weeks.

8 Turnovers! Lin!

He has only been playing 6 games and these teammates are new it is kind of ridiculous to expect him to be so efficient yet. Anyway normally the best pgs pile up TOs because they always have the ball and have to make so many decisions with the ball. Criticizing this kid is ridiculous he went from being cut to the starting pg of the Knicks over night and he has done an excellent job of learning on the fly.

But what can we say haters gonna hate

I know I wish my team had him at pg.

Westbrook is a pretty damn good basketball player I will take Wesbrook and the TOs that come with him over the majority of pgs in this lg.

No player is perfect every basketball player has flaws again expecting him to be effcient when he has only been on the team for a week is ridiculous.

When you play with Jared Jefferies and Bill Walker along with the others the Knicks have you have to force things and when Melo and Amare get healthy it will take time but he should improve his efficiency.


Amare looks like he is 45 Amir Johnson owned him tonight. But losing a brother so soon is hard so I give him a pass tonight.
