All, Former Athletes, Real Estate Porn February 8th. 2013, 12:50pm
Allen Iverson’s personal and financial struggles have been well chronicled, and now, he’s lost his $2.8 million Atlanta mansion to foreclosure.
It’s a sweet spread with a spacious kitchen and a gorgeous backyard, and we’ve plucked a few of the best photos from this gallery. Yes, Allen Iverson did earn $154 million in NBA contracts (excluding taxes, agent fees, etc).
It’s been a rough week for prominent, young, former athletes and foreclosures.

Is this the all-time NBA financial horror story? Antoine Walker was bad, but this is definitely worse. Common link between the two: both careers ended prematurely because of not being willing to refine and adapt their games as they aged

Seems like a lot of worse players earned considerably more money. Hopefully his sub-par agent let The Answer bunk up.

Swarms of those things can be found between Dallas and Fort Worth. I work with so many people who have a 1-2 hour commute each morning because they got a big Mcmasnion in a subdivision in Rockwall or Hurst, or DeSoto and are happy to trade wasting their lives in their car for a house that isn’t that special in the first place.

I’ve never thought of AI as an asshole. He’s a guy who came from a place with disadvantages you couldn’t imagine. He strikes me much more as a tortured human who never had a support system to enable good decision-making. I’m not going to excuse all his actions, some worse than others, but “bad guy” was never how I really thought of him. “Troubled” comes to mind a lot quicker.

I was in DC this week for some meetings. Left Harrisburg at 430 in the morning. Its typically a two hour drive. Didn’t get there until quarter after 8. Left at 3 pm on Tuesday. Got home at 7. No accidents, no events, just bullshit congestion. It’s just absurd.
February 8th, 2013 at 1:17 PM
I’m not sending AI a check, but none of that money he blew came my way, so I find it really hard to feel any schadenfreude (wow, had two diff spelling errors the first time I wrote that) in his demise.

I take the train each time I have to travel to the northeast. Trains are hands downs the best form of transportation available. Lots of space, no long lines, power and internet, minimal security. It pisses me off to no end that these douchebag governors turned down federal grants to add high-speed rail hubs simply because it was an Obama initiative. I want high-speed rail everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It will reduce the strain on air travel and make the entire travel experience more efficient.
February 8th, 2013 at 1:22 PM
Alot of the NBA and NFL can claim to have come from places with disadvantages that most of us can’t imagine. At some point, the majority of them at least learn to behave in a manner that will allow them to continue playing sports for a living. AI couldn’t even do that.

I’m lucky and able to have both of those things because of where I choose to live. My home is affordable, a decent size and close to my new office. However, if I worked in a major city I’d pay much more to live in the burbs plus have to deal with a long commute. Central PA has its disadvantages, but property and commute typically arent a problem.

DC traffic can be absolutely terrible if you hit the wrong place at the wrong time. I’ve sat in my car for hours when stuck in congestion.
I had a 10 minute commute for 7 years at my old job, I miss it terribly. Since October, my commute is 25 miles, but there’s no highway to get where I’m at so it takes anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour. Most of thew time it’s around 45 minutes, which really isn’t bad.

AI at the end of his career (which shouldn’t have been the end) was caught up with a Detroit team that only wanted him for the ability to drop his contract at the end of the year. If you’re a great player, it has to be hard to be traded to a team that had no use for you. It had to be worse to be traded to a squad that wanted you to take a back seat to a scrub like Rodney Stuckey….. My bad, what had to be just the worst was being on a team where building a team around Mike Conley Jr. being the PG was deemed a better option than playing you. Iverson had one of his better and most efficient all around seasons his last full year in Denver. He had at least 5-7 years left in his career

but DC traffic comes from Richmond to Philly and the Atlantic to West Virginia.
Right. And there are basically 2 areas of a couple of square miles each where 70% of that traffic is going for work. So it’s not really that hard to explain. Metro fares are hard to explain. The presence of traffic is not.

Good god, to where?
Had he chosen to amicably accept the appropriate role

Its noted in this story that he isnt broke:
He is far from insolvent, at least in the real world, if not in harmony with his “nothing in moderation” lifestyle. Someone who cared a great deal for Iverson and grasped the extent of his habits, loyalties and generosity protected him to some degree from financial ruination, at 36, at any rate.
A person with a firm grip on the situation informs me Iverson has an account worth $32 million, a principal he is prohibited from touching until 55. In the meantime, it feeds him $1 million annually.

Damn – I was just kidding. I guess I should be more careful what I say.
February 8th, 2013 at 1:55 PM
He chose to leave bad situations. good for him. But there is no way that anyone who watched those 3 players play wuold consider Iverson taking a secondary role behind a Conley or a Stuckey as an appropriate role.

Atlanta to Naples, FL. Long term project.

atlanta? maybe you can meet up with DerKaiser and confirm/deny rumors that he is an Aryan Nation zealot
February 8th, 2013 at 2:00 PM
Please. A no defense, overshooting six foot two guard who still thought he was an all-star. There is a reason he’s been out of the league for a while. He should’ve accepted a sixth man scoring role, a la Jason Terry or Jamal Crawford. That said, I’m done with this obvious point to avoid being sucked down the Ben Franklin wormhole
February 8th, 2013 at 2:01 PM
I was about to post something to this effect without knowing the particulars. broke and foreclosure are two different things. The eagerness that some have to write his obituary is hilarious.

SHUT IT DOWN! INTERNET OVERREACTIONS AND FAUX OUTRAGE!
February 8th, 2013 at 2:05 PM
your attempt at piousness doesn’t hide your unwillingness to be pimp slapped up and down yet another basketball post. Done is what you need to be.

Common misconception here. He was a below average one-on-one defender but actually a decent team defender. A bit too much of a gambler. 2 years in the Big East, 2x DPOY. That doesn’t translate to NBA 1 for 1, obviously but let’s not make him out to be Steve Nash
February 8th, 2013 at 2:06 PM
I’ve learned not to debate Darrell about NBA. I just troll him with inaccurate and irrational Knicks thoughts. Makes the day go by better
February 8th, 2013 at 2:07 PM
glad to hear it man
February 8th, 2013 at 2:09 PM
Not piousness, but avoiding five back and forths of you making a point I suspect you already know is wrong, just for shits. And dammit, I’ve been sucked in
February 8th, 2013 at 2:12 PM
atlanta? maybe you can meet up with DerKaiser and confirm/deny rumors that he is a cross-dressing Aryan Nation zealot with a tubal ligation
February 8th, 2013 at 2:12 PM
This. He was one of best off the ball defenders I’ve seen. Any skip pass had the chance to be stolen. Yet at the same time, being short AND light made him suuceptible to being overpowered and abused one on one. But making it seem like he just stood at halfcourt and watched the rest of the team d up is as you say a common misconception.

good for you. dont waste too much time with him.

citation needed in Iverson’s case.
February 8th, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Even if this was something that I did, talking up Iverson wouldn’t be one of the situation where I’d need to foster up an argument. One of my favorite players ever.
February 8th, 2013 at 2:23 PM
If Iverson was a player of a different persuasion, I’d venture to say that he would be acknowledged as the ultimate overachiever. 5’11″ 160 lb guard who achieved over 20,000 career points by continuously attacking the hole against players up to a foot taller than him.
February 8th, 2013 at 2:26 PM
Was referring to length of career and lack of money left to show for it
February 8th, 2013 at 2:28 PM
I wish this site had an archive so I could show and laugh at how many times someone who supposedly doesn’t pay me attention responds to my posts. MPIII is my biggest fan. That, corny jokes about shitting, and playing the chorus to someone elses post as opposed to having any original thought or response of his own is what he brings to this board. Of course, I’ll engage him right here, and instead of responding, he’ll run off with another “wanking motion”.
February 8th, 2013 at 2:31 PM
as for the latter…well I don’t know if I can argue that. as for the former, he had about 10 or 11 great (or “very good-to-great”) seasons before he hit a wall, his body started to break down and he called it quits. I hear “wasted talent” and think of someone like Kenny Anderson or Shawn Kemp.

so to have an original thought, i need to be a race baiting dolt. let me jot that down while i take a shit.

February 8th, 2013 at 2:37 PM
then your name must be race, because I just baited you, didn’t I? You’re going to put an actual thought/opinion out there, or are you going to be the pussy yuo’ve always shown yourself to be and wank away?
February 8th, 2013 at 2:41 PM
Difference of opinion. I think he could have played five more years in a lesser role

you havent made it through a masturbatory session have you? i am sure you get into arguements with your hand and call it racist for beating up something black.
next time, just shut your mouth, and continue to stroke to completion. it will help you to not be so internet aggressive.

I think Derrick Coleman but even that’s a little unfair. He was pretty good, really, just not as great as he “should” have been. What’s that fat guy that used to play for the Bullets? He was a wasted talent
February 8th, 2013 at 2:50 PM
if it makes you feel that I wouldn’t respond to your words towards me to your face the same way I respond to you on here, that’s cool because there’s no way for me to show otherwise. As a matter of fact, the idea that you’d have to refer to me as being “aggressive” at all when you decided to engage is actually quite telling and has been played out throughout this country thousands of times. You’ve confirmed it for me. You’re a pussy. Don’t even hurt yourself by responding any further.
