The past few months have been rough on Allen Iverson. Last week, the Philadelphia 76ers announced that Iverson would not be playing for the rest of the season. On the same day, his wife filed for divorce. This week, it has been revealed that the player has an addiction to alcohol and gambling, putting both his personal and professional life in danger.
Iverson was absent from most of the 76ers regular season games; his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah, was diagnosed with an undisclosed disease early this year and has been ill for some time now. During practice, Iverson said that it was difficult to leave his wife and his children, even for work.
