Report: Iverson facing trouble

Multiple NBA sources say Allen Iverson is facing alcohol and gambling issues that have derailed his career and threaten his post-basketball well-being, Stephen A. Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported in a column published Monday.

According to multiple NBA sources, there is widespread concern that the four-time NBA scoring champion, who left the Philadelphia 76ers in late February to deal with his daughter's illness and will not return this season, "will either drink himself into oblivion or gamble his life away," Smith reported.

Iverson's gambling problem is serious enough that he has been banished from casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City, N.J., according to Smith.

The report comes as Iverson is dealing with significant personal problems. He posted four messages Monday night on his Twitter account, acknowledging he was going through "some very tough times."

"To my fans: You all know that my life isn't perfect. I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do from time to time," Iverson wrote. "However, I will stand tall like always with 'rhino' thick skin."

Iverson's wife, Tawana, filed for divorce March 4, the same day the 76ers announced the All-Star guard would not return for the rest of the season. In the divorce filing, made in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Tawana Iverson said the couple's 8½-year marriage is "irretrievably broken" and sought full custody of the family's five children, child support and alimony.

Clippers and Mike Dunleavy: Officially divorced

It didn’t even last until the end of the season.

The very last part of Mike Dunleavy’s Clippers job description – general manager --  vanished  Tuesday afternoon. It came when the team announced it had severed ties with him.

And it didn’t come at a hastily arranged news conference. The news arrived, via e-mail, just as the struggling Clippers started the second half of their game at Orlando.

(Assistant general manager Neil Olshey will take over the vacancy created by the move.)

Moreover, the Clippers’ language in the release was more blunt than you usually see under these circumstances:

“The organization has determined that the goal of building a winning team is best served by making this decision at this time.

“The team has simply not made sufficient progress during Dunleavy’s seven-year tenure. The Clippers want to win now. This transition, in conjunction with a full commitment to dedicate unlimited resources, is designed to accomplish that objective.”

Dunleavy, who stepped down as coach on Feb. 4,  was not immediately available for comment, nor was Olshey.

What spells have you cast that shocked you when they actually worked?
I did a simple fertility spell by throwing a dollar in the Ocean and a few words to the deities about making me pregnant when the time was right. 4 months later, I found out I was pregnant and now have a beautiful daughter who will be 3 in August.
Just curious about what spells have worked for you in the past.

Fragments of earlier memories of Taiwan

I am more used to writing on my life with my birds and animals.

This entry is not on birds or animals. This is my memoirs that I wanted to write before it faded away with time.

After many years, I decided to write the above. That was not easy to write as you can read later on. That covered a strange chain of events.

There are some adult themes not suitable for minors.
There are encounters of mystical strange nature.

DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
