This is no “game.” We all know the famous Allen Iverson “practice” press conference, but according to a new book, Iverson was drunk when he gave the famous “speech” 13 years ago according to “Not a Game: The Incredible Rise and Unthinkable Fall of Allen Iverson” by Kent Babb.
The book details troubling things involving the former NBA All Star including:
Iverson once threatened his wife, Tawanna, that he would pay a man $5,000 to have her killed.
Iverson also told Tawanna that he would pay someone a million dollars to testify in divorce court that they had an affair with her.
Tawanna has also accused Allen of numerous instances of spousal abuse, including stepping on her bare foot and grinding his boot heel into it, and punching her in the back while laughing out loud. “That’s a kidney shot,” he told her.
Iverson was an absentee father who once left his young kids alone in a hotel room for a whole night to go get hammered. He also once told one of his sons, “You ain’t no real n****. You a white boy, you preppy, you rich boy.”
If you’re an A.I Fan, the book might be hard for you to read. The book is $18 and can be found anywhere books are sold if you want to check it out for yourself.
