Little is known about Allen's second born, Allen II, who seems to be living a private life. His other son, though, Isaiah, chose not to follow in his father's footsteps.

Isaiah graduated in 2022, and his proud dad posted on Instagram congratulating his son. Allen wished him well and said he should follow through with whatever he chose to do.

Messiah is another of Allen Iverson's children, who is still in school, she entered high school in 2019, and her dad wished her well on her new journey. The 47-year-old's other child, Dream, might be the youngest, but she already pleases her dad.

In 2010 while playing with the Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA legend left in the middle of the season to take care of his four-year-old daughter, Messiah, because she was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease, which kept her in the hospital for several weeks.

Although haters and supporters criticized it, Allen dropped his contract with the Sixers. After that, he never went back to play in the NBA.

In an interview, he once said: "I like to look at myself as a strong person, especially dealing with everything in my life. But this is a totally different situation; you find out you're not as tough as you thought you were when it's one of your kids."

BACK TOGETHER

In 2016, the NBA legend was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and he paid a touching tribute to his then ex-wife Tawanna. By then, the mother of Allen Iverson's children and the legend had been divorced for three years after a turbulent 24-year marriage.

In his speech, Allen called her his "number one person in the world." It was a surprise for everyone since Tawanna had filed for divorce when Allen led them to many debts by burning $150 million while raising their five children.

At the time, they walked the ceremony together, holding hands. After that, they solved their problems and found a way to be back together again, this time with a much better understanding.
