Report: Iverson facing troubleMultiple 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. more hereTags: allen iverson

Today, I am thankful for cats and blue hair. I am thankful that I will be able to help a friend say goodbye to a terrible husband forever. I hope that I'll be able to help another friend say goodbye to her kind husband while he is away in Iraq. I am thankful for my family, which is made of people I am related to, I have chosen, and people who I chose...and then found out I was related to. I am thankful that I can still walk. Can still breathe. Can still move with some degree of freedom. I am thankful for Postsecret. I am thankful for the student that I am editing a thesis for. He wants to save his homeland of Nepal, and I believe that he can. I am thankful for my faith. The gods test me often, but I come through. I am thankful for my home state. Praise the gods that I got to be born in Louisiana. And Geaux Saints! I am thankful that I have Asperger's autism. It makes me honest. I am thankful that I can write poems and stories that haunt people. I am thankful that I am in a steady, loving relationship with someone wonderful. I am thankful for music and laughter, contentment and love, and all of you. May you always find something to be thankful for.
