SPORTS: The Rise and Fall of Allen Iverson




We stood in line to purchase his first signature shoe. We all went crazy when he put his hand to his ear and asked us as fans to give him and his teammates a louder round of applause. Because of him TGI Friday's became a club and do rags, corn rows, tattoos, and jewelry became acceptable accessories in sports. Who can forget his run ins with the law, "practice" press conference, and fearlessness on the court.


Today Allen Iverson is still hanging out at TGI Fridays. Just now he is in Turkey. He is sad to have a drinking and gambling problem. Don't believe me?
