The Struggle Is Reallllly Real: Allen Iverson So Broke He "Couldn't Afford a Cheeseburger"

The Washington Post reported that Iverson pulled out his pants pockets during the proceeding, and declared "I don't even have money for a cheeseburger," as he turned to his estranged wife, Tawanna. Her heart went out to Allen, whom she gave $61 to, in hopes of helping him out.

Iverson amassed over $140 million during his NBA career, which included a huge deal with Reebok.

The money seems all but squandered now, except for a $30 million deferred trust from Reebok, which he can't touch until he turns 55.

Like other professional athletes, it seems that Iverson's story will remain a cautionary tale for those just starting out.
