My fiance is no doubt Allen Iverson's biggest fan. He has almost his entire shoe collection, a tattoo of the title of his rap album tattooed on his hand( the rap album was banned by the NBA...who knew?), still knows all the words to the rap songs on the album, knows every important date and names of all Allen Iverson's family members, and even wanted to name our unborn child Iverson if she had of been a boy. So I prayed for a way to make my sweetheart's dreams come true...a chance to meet A.I.. Shortly after, it was announced Ice Cube was having a 3 on 3 basketball tournament and A.I. was going to be the Captain and play in the tournament. I immediately looked up the schedule and could not believe they were going to play in Dallas. Without hesitation I booked our tickets with seats right off the court and surprised my boo. He was so excited. Unfortunately A.I. was a no show. My fiance was heartbroken but like a true fan he was still hopeful that A.I. would surprise everyone and show up.That moment never came. We didnt let it stop our fun. We got amazing pictures of Ice Cube, J Prince, and LL Cool J. It was our first trip away from our newborn so we did enjoy a much needed date night. The sad part was websites later reported Mr.Iverson was seen in a casino at 3 am the morning before the game and there were even reports he checked into the W Hotel in Dallas that morning. My sweetie was even more disappointed but his response was, "We all have our issues. He didnt make the game because he was probably still hungover." It hurt me so bad to see the man that I love so disappointed. If you know my guy you would know he has a tough exterior but when it comes to me, his kids, and his mom he is a softie. So to see him show that much emotion let me know just how much seeing A.I. meant to him. I don't know if this blog post will ever reach you or if what the websites were reporting are true, but A.I. know we all love you. I left an IM on your official Instagram page to let you know your fans still love you and please come to Dallas or Little Rock. We all battle our own demons and we also know more money more problems, but A.I. take a moment and look outside yourself. Yes, you may think why should you care? You didn't ask for fans or to be a hero to a grown ass man, but the reason why you are his hero (other than his dad) is because in his eyes you both fought the same demons, played the same game, and won some of the same battles...the only difference is you showed him what it means to Win at the game...not lose yourself in it. Praying For You. BLESSINGS & GOD'S PROTECTION, Signed, The Fiance Of A Misunderstood Allen Iverson Fan. The sign my friend and I made for the Big 3 game
