"Former NBA and Georgetown star Allen Iverson apparently has more problems than just a pending divorce from his wife. We already knew about his sick child, though no one has yet said what's wrong with his 4-year-old.

Now comes a column by the Philadelphia Inquirer's Stephen A. Smith (OK, put aside your feelings on the former ESPN yapper for a moment). Smith wrote that Iverson's problems also include alcohol and gambling. Last year an Internet report said that Iverson had been banned from a Detroit casino, which he denied. However, now Smith said Iverson has been banned from casinos in Detroit and Atlantic City."
