I hear you, but they are making big investments in guys who are around 20 years old. It's in everyone's best interest to make sure they don't ruin their lives and can focus on playing basketball (or whatever).
ANYWAY, Iverson is ~35 years old, and his mom is 50. I'm guessing that money wasn't something that flowed too freely when he was growing up. He clearly wasn't prepared for this.
I wonder how many of his "hangers-on" are going to help him out now.
One good thing to come out of this is that he was always such an arrogant little jackass, and now I can say "I have more money than Allen Iverson, so screw that guy!".
