Allen Iverson created the score-first point guard. He is arguably the most iconic and socially/culturally important basketball player after Michael Jordan. With all those accolades, he’s broke. Although being broke, he does still have the money to maintain appearances.
Matt Barnes, teammate and friend, of Allen Iverson’s during their 2005-2006 76ers run, recalls all the fun stories with Iverson.
He comments on Iverson’s spending habits, especially in the strip club:
“Allen was the first guy that showed me how NBA players spend money in strip clubs,” Barnes says. “That guy went. HARD. He’d throw so much money, and this was when I was first in the league, that I used to take my foot and scoop the s— under my chair and either re-throw it or put some in my pocket. He’d throw $30,000, $40,000 every time we went. I’m like, ‘You realize what I can do with this money?’”
As much as NBA players are humans, they’re spending habits, are not human. What can you even get in a strip club for $30,000? Crazy.
