In a recent interview on ESPN’s “First Take,” NBA legend Allen Iverson shared details about his new autobiography, “Misunderstood.” During the conversation, Iverson addressed the most difficult moment of his life, an instant that surpassed any challenge faced on the court.It was something I inflicted on myself. But it was when Tawanna divorced me.

However, Iverson confirmed that he and Turner have gotten back together after the 2013 divorce. When asked how he got Tawanna back, he replied: “A lot of Keith Sweat. I had to beg a lot.” As part of that deep reevaluation and reconstruction of his marriage, Iverson, 50, admitted that alcohol was a major problem, and that he was tired of fighting it. The divorce, the end of his career, all the baggage of his youth, everything was weighing on him. Iverson also talked about the influence he has had on the new generations of NBA players. The player stated that many young NBA players admire him and that he has influenced the way they express themselves. “I made many of them feel comfortable in their own skin and feel that they can express themselves. I love everything that is happening with our league and the improvement of the younger players. We will never lack superstars.” “The game is in good hands.”That’s when I knew I had hit rock bottom and it was time for a deep personal reevaluation. I was sitting in the courtroom, I used to watch the Sixers against the Sixers in practice, or Georgetown against Georgetown. Tears began to fall on the divorce papers when I looked and saw ‘Iverson versus Iverson’.
