Running into somebody house wavin a gun to get his wife back.

+ All the tattoos

[KingofVaginville]

Iverson isn't a thug in any way shape or form. He's just a wannabe!

Someone like Kenyon Martin or Bill Laimbeer will qualify as one.



Now, that's what thuggish bullies do. Giving a fellow player a wedgie!

You don't even know what happened with this.

What makes AI a thug? Does wearing expensive clothes and having tattoos make you a thug? I really don't think so. Just because AI is true to his roots some people label this thuggish behavior.

I really don't think that makes you a thug.

1993

A highly publicized incident that almost jeopardized his college career involved in a racially-charged fight at a Hampton, Virginia bowling alley. On February 14, 1993, Iverson and several of his friends became involved in a racially-charged altercation with a group of white teenagers. During the fight, Iverson was accused of attacking a woman and hitting her in the head with a chair. He, along with three of his friends, also black, were the only ones arrested in the incident. Iverson, 17 years of age at the time, was convicted as an adult of the felony charge of "maiming-by-mob" and received a 15-year prison sentence (10 years suspended).

This incident was profiled on the television newsmagazine 60 Minutes due to claims of racial bias in the adjudication of the case. L. Douglas Wilder, at the time Governor of Virginia, became convinced that Iverson had been treated unfairly and controversially granted Iverson clemency, releasing him from his sentence. Iverson's conviction was later overturned on appeal.

1997

Iverson was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and for possession of marijuana. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to community service.


2002

Iverson allegedy threw his wife Tawanna out of the mansion during a fight. The following night, an enraged Iverson later went looking for his wife at his cousin's apartment. His cousin wouldn't let him in(Iverson was the one who paid the rent for the house).According to the police report, Iverson repeatedly threatened to kill his cousin Charles Jones and Jones's roommate while showing them a semiautomatic gun. Iverson was arrested and charged with 14 different counts. All charges were ultimately dropped after conflicting testimonies from witnesses.


2004

During the latter part of the 2003-2004 season, Iverson bristled under the disciplinarian approach of the Sixers' new head coach Chris Ford. This led to a number of contentious incidents, including Iverson being suspended for missing practice, fined for failing to notify Ford that Iverson would not attend a game because he was sick, and refusing to play in game because he felt "insulted" that Ford wanted Iverson to come off the bench as he worked his way back from an injury.[4]

On February 24, 2004, Iverson, a noted regular casino patron, was spotted at Bally's Park Place in Atlantic City urinating in a trash can in full view of staff and patrons. He was told by casino management not to return.[5]

When the 2004 United States Olympic team gathered in Jacksonville, Fla., for its first exhibition game, Allen Iverson was late. He was suspended for the game.[6]

2005

On December 9, 2005 after the Sixers defeated the Charlotte Bobcats, Iverson paid a late-night visit to the Trump Taj Mahal. After winning a hand at a three-card-stud poker table, Iverson was overpaid $10,000 in chips by a dealer. When the dealer quickly realized the mistake and requested the chips back, Iverson refused and a heated head-turning argument between him and casino staff began. Atlantic City casino regulations reportedly state that when a casino makes a payout mistake in favor of the gambler, he or she must return the money that they did not legitimately win by playing.

^^that stuff

Outside the NBA that stuff wouldn't be considered too bad, so i guess he's not a thug, but as far as the NBA goes, he is.

I remember watching some NBA show on Spike TV and they showed Oakley smacking Pippen's sharp skull when Pippen was a rookie. Funny sh!t!

That makes NO sense at all. His actions off the court don't make him a thug off the court. Yet those same actions off the court make him a thug on the court? Either he is or he's not. Pretty cut and dry.

[SirPresident]

He is simply saying that in contrast to the actions of a normal NBA player he is a thug, though outside of the NBA he may not be, its pretty cut and dry.

I understand that. But you can't just call someone a thug of a league and a non-thug outside of it. Either he is one or not one.
