Iverson facing serious gambling and alcohol issues
Numerous league sources tell the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Stephen A. Smith that if Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson doesn’t get help soon, he “will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away.” Look, we’ve taken our shots at Iverson before, but this sounds extremely serious.
It doesn’t help matters that Iverson’s wife Tawanna has already filed for divorce, hired a high-powered attorney and taken off with the kids. That could make someone want to grab the Jack Daniels.
Now all of those stories make a little more sense. The stories about Iverson being banned from casinos in Atlantic City and Detroit. We heard the stories about him being abusive to dealers and other patrons.
Smith spoke to famed Temple Owls head basketball coach John Chaney about what kind of help Iverson might need.
“I think there’s one guy, and his name is John Thompson,” said Chaney. “John is the one guy who’ll have a chance of slowing this train wreck down, who could wrap his arms around Iverson and have an impact, because clearly it has not been done. But there’s still this one question: Will [Iverson] listen?
“See, too many of our athletes give lip service when someone is trying to help them. And as soon as you leave them, they find themselves dealing with self-preservation and denial. It’s an athlete’s biggest problem to overcome.
“When you were young and vital, there were a lot of hit songs on that side of the record,” Chaney said. “With Iverson, there are no more hit songs on that side of the record. You’ve got to accept the fact that you’ve danced and boogied. Now that they’ve flipped it over and ain’t nobody dancing anymore, it’s over!
“The ball is deflated. So now you have to find another life for yourself.”
Hopefully, Iverson gets someone in his ear soon that can help. He needs it. Tawanna wants alimony. She wants child support. And rightfully so. But remember, the gravy train is over. The $20 million contracts are no more. If he doesn’t get his personal life straight, he’s going to find himself broke on top of everything else.
