You’ve probably been wondering when you’d get a chance to purchase some of Allen Iverson’s personal belongings. It’s a totally normal thing to wonder and I’m glad to finally have an answer for you.
Now.
Now is when you can buy his things. Lots and lots of his things, and they’re all on eBay.
As far as I can tell, there’s no explanation for this new “Iverson Authentic” store but there’s one logical solution — he might be broke. While it’s kind of cool that there’s all of this legit Iverson memorabilia out there for sale, it’s a bit of a downer that he’s unloading this stuff because he needs money. That takes a little bit of the fun away from these great finds.
Nonetheless, once you get past the part where one of your childhood favorites is selling a bunch of his possessions on the Internet, you’ll find some awesome goods here. There’s Iverson’s jersey from his first game in Turkey, a whole bunch of shoes and arm sleeves, and an autographed Michael Jordan White Sox jersey, which is definitely the weirdest part of the collection. Good stuff, for sure.
So yeah, if you want some obscure Allen Iverson goods and don’t mind paying a hefty sum, Allen Iverson himself has got you covered. The best part — if you can even call this a best part — is that not only do you become the proud owner of a part of Iverson’s legacy, you also help the guy out.
The world is weird sometimes.

I’d like to point everyone interested to two pieces by a player of my favorite basketball team here in Germany who wrote about his experience leading up to his squad’s Eurocup team against Allen Iverson’s team from Turkey. They are really well written and contain a lot of interesting insight.

They are both well worth a read, and I’m not just saying that cause I like that guy and his team :)

I’ve heard stories about Iverson throwing money away since his rookie season, so I’m not at all surprised about this. Iverson was blessed with tons of talent, but not an ounce of sense, unfortunately.
I would pay three. count em, THREE dollars for that jersey.
Iverson’s been selling autographed “game worn” stuff on ebay and his website for YEARS. How is this news?
I thought his name was Iver Anderson.
I’m buying his practice sneakers because they’ve never been worn!
Iverson can’t even catch a break when he’s doing something nice. He’s been selling all of this stuff for the last 8 years for charity. Terrible reporting.
Hahaha. This ISN’T an eBay page run by Allen Iverson, but I bet A.I. is tight for all the times he autographed shit which is now being sold and he can’t afford a buspass
