Allen Iverson Seen Begging for Change Outside Mall

“I don’t even have money for a cheeseburger,” said Iverson.




Troubled former NBA basketball player Allen Iverson was seen begging for change outside of Lenox Mall in Atlanta. Several mall patrons reported a man with a disheveled appearance harassing them for change.


When security arrived, they were shocked to see it was none other than basketball legend Allen Iverson. Iverson was asked to leave the premises by mall security.

Over his NBA career, Iverson made over $154.5 million in salary. The 39-year-old also racked up quite a bit of income in endorsements, bringing his income to over $200 million.

Iverson blew through his money at an alarming rate on gaudy jewelry, expensive cars, and other frivolous purchases. In 2012, a Georgia judge garnished his wages to satisfy a $859,896.46 debt to a jeweler.

It is believed that he is now homeless and bounces around from home to home.

Though the 76ers legend is currently bankrupt, he does have a $30 million trust with Reebok, which he cannot access until he is 55-years-old.

What's crazy to me is a guy like this not being able to figure out a way to make money outside of basketball. Everyone in the country knows who you are, so it shouldn't be complicated.

-Go on a "Meet Allen Iverson" Tour signing autographs and taking pictures with fans who pay for an admission ticket.
-Go do some work as a basketball analyst.
-Go make a youtube video of you arm wrestling an orangutan and throw a couple ads on it.

It's not that hard. It seems like lack of effort that's holding him back...or maybe it's simply feeling sorry for himself.

My guess is that he is a complete moron and he is the perfect example of what happens when your hand is held your entire life.
