During his brilliant career, Alan Iverson made it clear that he wanted to be authentic, that he wasn't forgetting where he came from.
His career long over, Iverson is now broke, possibly an alcoholic, and uncertain of what to do. A lot of people have reached out to him, but to a large extent, he hasn't responded.
The saddest thing to us is that Iverson's allegiance to the street life of his youth, his refusal to move beyond it, is leading him straight back to it.
