Here is more on AI:
Born: 7 June 1975
Birthplace: Hampton, Virginia
Best Known As: High-scoring guard for the Philadelphia 76ers
A guard standing six feet tall, Allen Iverson played two years of college basketball for Georgetown University before being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. He soon became their leading scorer, earning the nickname "The Answer." By 1999 he was the leading scorer in the NBA, averaging 26.8 points per game. In 2000 he released a CD of rap music (under the name Jewelz), whose coarse "street" lyrics created a minor controversy (for which Iverson eventually apologized). In 2001 Iverson was named the Most Valuable Player in the league, the shortest player in NBA history to hold the title.

What's Up With Allen Iverson?
You've been hearing a lot about Allen Iverson these days and it's not because of his crossover move, his braids or his tattoos. Will the Answer be going to jail? Will he play for the Sixers again? I has the 411 on why The Answer is in trouble.
Why Was Allen Iverson Arrested?
Allen Iverson has been arrested because police say he threw his wife out of their home in Philadelphia. The next day, Allen is said to have burst into an apartment to look for his wife and threatened two men. Allen Iverson was arrested on July 16, 2002 and is now facing several charges.
Will Allen Iverson Go to Jail?
It's very unlikely that Allen Iverson will go to jail because he has really good lawyers and no one in the apartment was seriously hurt. Allen will probably end up doing some form of community service work if the courts find him guilty.
Will Allen Iverson Still Play for the Sixers?
Larry Brown, the coach of the Sixers, says he wants Allen Iverson to keep playing in Philadelphia. Allen is one of the best basketball players in the NBA, he sells tickets and everyone, including Bow Wow, loves his jerseys and shoes. The Sixers would be crazy to trade him, so you can expect to see Allen Iverson doing his magical crossover move in Philadelphia again this season
