(Inset: Messiah Iverson)
A week after the Philadelphia 76ers’ Allen Iverson announced he was leaving basketball for the rest of the season to be with his sick 4-year-old daughter, the star’s wife filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court.
In the divorce petition filed on Tuesday, Tawanna Iverson said her 8 ½-year-long marriage to the guard was “irretrievably broken.” In the petition, Tawanna Iverson asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.
The day before the divorce filing, the 76ers announced that Iverson would not return to the team this season.
Iverson had previously said that he was taking leave from the team to be with his sick 4-year-old daughter Messiah. Monday I reported that Iverson was spotted partying at a club in Charlotte last Saturday.

haha, she is pretty hideous. AI’s fall is like a runaway freight train. What’s going to happen next? Maybe some male pattern baldness leading to the end of those cornrows. Perhaps a skin disease as a result of his insane amount of tatoos.
Not that his daughter being sick or losing his wife is just desserts…but I don’t know that AI has built up enough good will with people to garner a whole lot of sympathy. E.G. imagine if this were Peyton Manning, I think people might cry
