Allen Iverson Reveals the Lowest Point of His Life<\/h2>\n\nIn a recent interview, NBA legend Allen Iverson shared intimate details about the most difficult moment of his life, revelations that are part of his new autobiography, “Misunderstood”.\n\nIverson, known for his impact on basketball, surprised everyone by confessing that the lowest point in his life was not related to his career on the court.\n\n\n
\n\n

“It was self-inflicted,” Iverson declared. “It was when Tawanna divorced me.”<\/p>\n\nAllen Iverson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After several difficulties, the couple separated in 2008 and the divorce was finalized in 2013, coinciding with the end of Iverson’s career, who announced his retirement in October of that year.\n\nIverson explained that the situation led him to deep personal reflection.\n\n\n
\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I knew I\u2019d hit rock bottom and it was time for a deep personal reevaluation,\u201d he stated. \u201cWhen I was sitting in that courtroom, I used to watch the Sixers versus the Sixers in practice, or Georgetown versus Georgetown. The tears started falling on the (divorce) papers when I looked and saw \u2018Iverson versus Iverson\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\nAllen Iverson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWhen asked how he got Tawanna back, Iverson replied that it was thanks to Keith Sweat’s music and a lot of pleading.\n\nDuring this process of reflection and rebuilding of his marriage, Iverson recognized that alcohol was a major problem, and that he was tired of fighting it. Divorce, the end of his career, and his youthful experiences were factors that influenced his decision.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cIt’s a plethora of things. Ultimately, when you evaluate your maturity and what’s important and what you mean to your family, friends, and the world, I just thought about the way it was supposed to be in life. And I didn’t see how (alcohol) was helping anything,\u201d he said. \u201cI could only think of negative experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\nAllen Iverson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIverson also talked about his influence on the new generations of NBA players.\n\n\n

\n\n

“I made many of them feel comfortable in their own skin and feel that they can express themselves,” he commented. “I love everything that is happening with our league and the improvement of the younger players. We will never lack superstars.”<\/p>\n\nAllen Iverson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n“The game is in very good hands,” he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
