Allen Iverson Had a Rough Encounter with Police in Georgia
1-liner, All, Courts, Legal, Former Athletes April 8th. 2011, 10:00am
Allen Iverson: While riding shotgun in his Lamborghini Murcielago in Georgia March 30th, police claim that Allen Iverson’s driver switched lanes without a signal. So the car was pulled over. Police determined the car was two years old, but still had dealer tags on it. And then, Iverson reportedly told the cop, “Take the vehicle, I have 10 more. Police don’t have anything else [expletive] to do except [expletive] with me. … Do you know who I am?” I bet the former 76ers star never got treated this poorly in Turkey. Police said after the car was taken, Iverson returned to apologize. [AJC]

I would be pretty pissed if the car I was in got pulled over for not using a turn signal while changing lanes too.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Though, if you’re driving a Lamborghini you’re pretty much asking to get pulled over for a minor traffic violation, white or black.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Certainly not the biggest AI fan but it definitely makes me think more highly of him that he came back and apologized.
I think we are going to see some sad stories about AI 5-10 years from now. It just seems he is destined to spend all of his money and end up broke.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
*winces*
April 8th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Stay strong, Bubba Chuck.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
I hope you’re wrong about this (I like AI), but I suspect that you are not.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:10 AM
If you’re AI and you have enough money to buy ten Lamborghinis, how in the fuck do you keep dealer tags on your car for two fucking years? You’re telling me there isn’t a single person in your posse of hired help that could take care of getting plates on the car?
April 8th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Yes.
And no matter what type of car you drive you better have all your paperwork in order or the police will certainly use it against you.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I have nothing good to say about this man, therefore I will say nothing at all.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:12 AM
If I’m driving a 400K Italian sportscar, I would probably be uptight enough to use that line too. Just because I could. And then say “I’m going to have all your badges for this” just because I’ve always wanted to say it.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Surrounding himself with responsible individuals hasn’t exactly been one of AI’s strong suits.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:13 AM
Don’t forget “F*** Tha Police”
April 8th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
11 cars.. yup, someone’s going to join the club of bankrupt former athletes at some point.

It’s called fuck you money; as in fuck you, I’ll do what I want cause I’m filthy rich and don’t have to conform to rules that apply to “regular” people.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
It’s that I don’t give a shit money. But yeah, I’m sure he could have gotten some kid to do it for free.

April 8th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Probably why he got the ticket in the first place.
/I mean, we’re talking PRACTICE
April 8th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
OK but doesn’t the dealership automatically include plates and tags in the final price when you buy the car?
April 8th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Why I’ll always be a fan.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Considering you see nothing wrong with wearing sunglasses but no shirt in a club at night, I’m not surprised.
/getting into ‘fuck the yankees’ mode
April 8th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
As simple as he /doesn’t give a shit
April 8th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Iverson can do no wrong, he’ll always be my boy.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Exactly. You don’t see ’97 Camrys getting pulled over for this.
Of course, the guy in the Camry probably wasn’t driving like an asshole.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
cause I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiiigh
April 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
What can I say. I’m an aspiring balla. And I would say fuck the Red Sox, but, you know, it’d be pointless. Because they suck.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
i’m just glad i’m not the only person that recently got pulled over for changing lanes without a signal

In his defense, tags for a Lambo cost about $10,000 in GA. Down here, you pay for your based on how much your car is worth. So if you buy a new car, you’ll probably pay about $250-$300 for tags, but if you have a used car like me, it’s about $150. And if you buy a Lambo, it’s $10,000, evidently. Doesn’t really excuse him not having tags though. If you can afford that car, you should be able to afford $10,000.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:19 AM
riding shotgun in his Lamborghini Murcielago
What? I don’t care who asks, you NEVER let anyone else drive your Lambo. Might as well let someone plow your wife while you’re at it.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Oh, we wanna drop Iverson links? This one endeared me to him forever. Just bad fucking ass.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Though, if you’re driving a Lamborghini you’re pretty much asking to get pulled over for a minor traffic violation, white or black.
Also, seeing as how it was APD and not in the suburbs, I’d be willing to bet good money that the officer was black anyway.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
All day angry internet sex between Jersey and CJ. This should be fun.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
But what if you have 10 wives/Lambos?
April 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
I hate people that don’t use turn signals. Lazy pricks.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Can’t stop laughing at this
April 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
That game was so much fun. The rest of the series, not so much.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
Mother fucking THIS.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
OK but doesn’t the dealership automatically include plates and tags in the final price when you buy the car?
Not when you’re buying a car like that. Dealer might be selling expensive cars, but I doubt they’d just give you $10,000 for registration.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
This is going to be a good day.
/fuck the Yankees and the Braves
April 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I bet if you’re rich enough to buy a Lambo, you’re rich enough to not give a fuck who drives it.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I bet if you’re rich enough to buy a Lambo, you’re rich enough to not give a fuck who drives it.
Also… he does have NINE others to drive himself whenever he wants.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I remember me and my boys watching this and saying “Why the fuck is Lue guarding AI? And why the fuck does he think it’s going to work out well? And why the fuck does he keep goading him?” Has anyone’s rep been more hurt while winning a championship?
April 8th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Has anyone’s rep been more hurt while winning a championship?
Did he even have a “rep” though?
April 8th, 2011 at 10:26 AM

dammit
April 8th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Hear, hear! Though I am pissed the Sox play at the same time as the Phils tomorrow and so Fox wont allow me to watch. Someone better be streaming it somewhere online..
April 8th, 2011 at 10:28 AM
But what if you have 10 wives/Lambos?
Then you’re these guys
April 8th, 2011 at 10:30 AM
Not really… but I remember him giving LA some big minutes during that playoff run while they just pwned the West. But, I mean, I could have given the Lakers big minutes the way Mamba and Diesel were playing that year. So he was getting a little love, but then he comes into game 1 and draws Iverson defensively. Ok… someone has to guard him. But he kept jawing with him. Dumb. He got way to close with him on defense. Dumber. P-Jax made sure not to do that again the rest of the series.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
You’ll probably be better off not watching it. I hate watching loved ones go through pain.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
I’ll have both games (get Philly & NY Fox), but I’ll be either playing some catchup on AC:B or watching the Masters.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
You’ll still be able to listen to Castiglione through your MLB.tv subscription. Just can’t watch it.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
Ellsbury hitting 8 today, ouch. I think they’ve had a different lineup for each game so far.
April 8th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
YARDWORK!!!!
April 8th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
“Take the vehicle, I have 10 more.”
Wait. Who refers to their own car in conversation as a “vehicle”? Me thinks this quote is not word-for-word.
April 8th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
The dudes who normally go broke are the ones who let some “established” advisor tell them to invest in some deal that inevitably turns bust. AI is playing around with his play money.
April 8th, 2011 at 11:34 AM
you realize that the client has some culpability in this too, right?
April 8th, 2011 at 12:45 PM
I don’t care who asks, you NEVER let anyone else drive your Lambo.
WTF is the logic in this statement? Should he have just taken that DUI or whatever? That’s a lot more expensive than the $250 or so he paid in impound fees
