Allen Iverson delivers an emotional speech minutes before the unveiling of his statue outside the Sixers' practice facility. Iverson reflects on his life and expresses his belief in God.
Iverson's return Friday for his statue unveiling gave his friends and former teammates reason to feel pride in him. And relief that he's still around.
From 2002, when he was charged with criminal trespassing and brandishing an unlicensed gun, through his struggles with alcohol and his stormy marriage to his former wife, Tawanna, to thethat he blew through $200 million, Iverson forever seemed one false move from total disaster. King admitted Friday that yes, there were times that he doubted Iverson would live this long.
Former Sixers star Allen Iverson fights back tears during statue unveiling: ‘It don’t even feel real’ Coach, you can’t die before me. Coach Thompson just passed away, and I can’t have you die before me, too.
