We’re not sure if the ladies are still looking to lose their panties for this guy, but here is Allen “The Answer” Iverson posing on the cover of Slam Magazine with his cornrow tatted-up ‘bad boy’ swag in full effect.

Damn, it’s been almost 13 years, 3 different teams, and this poor thang still doesn’t have a ring. Hopefully the 2009 Pistons will be the “answer” for your boy AI this year. SMH.

  • OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

    PLATINUM

    HE’S STILL SEXY TO ME!

  • Politicker

    Oh man, it’s been that long? I use to be crazy over this guy!! 76ers use to be my team b/c of him…I say he should get an ‘honorary’ ring for the hell of it…

  • kitti

    AI is not the answer for DETROIT!!! I wish he would just leave and neva come back!!!! AI you make this team suck!!!

  • BlackBeauty

    He used to be fine, especially , when he played for Georgetown. Now he just looks like he needs a bath. He has tooo many tats!!

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ Daniel

    The classic curse of the “shoot first” point guard is that they are all left bereft of team achievements such as Championships. Stephon Marbury has a great role model in Allen Iverson, who should have never left Georgetown if he wanted an education or a title.

    No doubt that both Stephon and Iverson could chop down 99% of the women they encounter but that isn’t based on looks. Money is the most powerful aphrodisiac for females anyway.

  • bigfacenfresh

    I have been in love with this man for years!!!!!!!!He can really play so good ball.

  • http://www.k.com NOELLE

    It is only 2009 people!!

  • STEFANY

    He used to be fine, especially , when he played for Georgetown. Now he just looks like he needs a bath. He has tooo many tats!!

    @BLACKBEAUTY

    You took my exact words!

  • Govt. Cheese

    If he wasn’t a rich Basketball player he would just be another Thug dropping his seed in numerous baby mamas.

    Wake up and get smart Black Women!!!

  • WordtotheWise

    I never understood the appeal this man has on women, but oh, well, to each her own. I cosign w/the bath comments. Yuk.

  • WordtotheWise

    Govt. Cheese, you do have a point, and I’m sure women would NOT be checking him. For some people, money can make a gorilla (not to say AI looks like one) attractive. At least all his kids are by his wife so I’ll hand it to him. That’s a major plus.

  • Nigga Said

    Thats my nigga and favorite ball player, but isnt about time to give up the braids?

  • J

    Hell yeah…i’d luv to be the lady droppin my panties for him

  • BADNEWZBULLY

    BADNEWZ,VA. STAND UP!!!!!!!!!

  • formerGtown Studen

    Well as someone who went to Georgetown with AI – I can tell you he was chopping down ridiculous amounts of chicks back then! He was really fine then and had lots of potential..now he just can’t stay on a winning team and looks like a hott mess! Someone should tell him that cornrows have been out for a MINUTE!! DAMN even Omarion had to let his go! C’mon AI!

  • outcome critical

    still fiiiine as hell
    and what’s wrong with the tats, I can’t even picture him without em anymore… please

  • Ieshia

    IVERSON IS STILL SEXY TO

  • huss

    Y’all need to youtube Dj Jazzy Jeff’s song ‘Practice’

    He takes Iverson’s infamous ‘practice’ press conference and turns it into a really dope track.

    Ive loved AI ever since..

    ‘We talking about practice! Not a game. Not a game. We talkin bout practice mang! Not a game. Not the game I go out there and and die for. We talking bout practice!’

    Hilarious!

  • http://comcast Detroit

    A.I. he has his legacy, but we should’ve kept Chauncey…

  • VEE

    HELL YEAH I LOVE AI. HE STILL LOOK GOOD.

  • c from stl

    I have to admit I had it bad for him back around ’99, but he definitely needs to grow up. h3ll i was 18 back then, going on 28 now and he just doesn’t have the same appeal. I agree that he needs to get rid of the cornrows and get a grown man look about himself….

  • Roe ski Love

    Am I the only one who gets turned off by the females comments i.e. he can get it, I’d let him hit it, etc. Why do you think us men, think like we do when you make statements like this. Me personally would like to think that you considered your stink special. But no, instead you would let any Tom Dick or Harry hit it because he might be able to help you somehow. I know a couple of girls who I thought had their shit together, but soon as some wanna be baller comes around their ready to drop them draws. Don’t get me wrong, I am not jealous or anything, I’m just saying if you put it out there like that why should I or anyone else treat any other way than as a jump off. Can I get a female response please?

  • lovely1

    he is a nasty ass hoe and any female that lay down with this bum is a nasty ass hoe too this nigga done cheated on his wife god knows how many times HE NASTY!!!!!!

  • Toothrough

    @Roe ski Love

    I couldn’t agree more. These women that frequent bossip are whores and sluts and they don’t give a damn about the sanctity of marriage. The only thing they know is how to open their legs and their nasty mouths to someone else’s man.

    @ If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!

    I agree with you too! I find it funny, Bossip dawgs GOOD positive black men who are dating white women under their “swirl” category i.e. Cuba Gooding and Taye Diggs. Yet Bossip praises the sexuality of black men who have that “Thug” appeal i.e., A.I., Jeezy, Weezy, etc.

    The majority of these thugs if they were not rappers or ballers would be uneducated (90% are), and 100% likely to be criminals (if they aren’t already).

    Seriously, Black Women need to start making better mating decisions. I guess since Blk women prefer the thugs, I will just stick with my white girl…(She is a European model);)

    Dogg the funny part is most of these so-called thugs are the size of women!!!! I mean what these niccas gone do when they wind up in jail and a man weighing over 250lbs of muscle tells them to open they mouth and fix it? I just shake my head at the shyt, seem like a lot of sistas like men with hair and scarves longer then theirs…lol

    @Roe ski Love, @Toothrough, @If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!, and @Govt. Cheese

    I want to give an intelligent response to all your generalizations about ‘all the women’ that frequent this site and their playful responses to the above post as well as many others. I can honestly say for myself that I used to find AI attractive when I was very young. I’m almost thirty now and I don’t find him attractive anymore. I don’t speak for every woman, but alot of the funny and or ‘slutty’ responses that you see are not necessarily meant to be taken seriously. I’ve joked before to friends of mine about who can ‘get it’. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I will lay down with all or even one of the men that I may be referring to. It’s just a light-hearted and playful way of me really admiring a man’s swagger or appearance. I’m sure that there are plenty of women out there who may actually go there with any given athlete, rapper, movie-star, etc. However, speaking for myself and alot of women that I am acquainted with like myself, I can say that every single sexual innuendo a woman may make on these gossip sites does not define the thought process or everyday lifestyle of the average american black woman. If you like white women then that’s just fine, but don’t say that the responses on this website are what makes you date them, that’s just closed-minded and ignorant. No disrespect. And, it needs to be stated that there are plenty of white women out there that are slutting it up on a daily so being a slut or whore has nothing to do with race. Getting back to the original point that I made, I think alot of times women are just having fun and giving each other a cyber high five when they make suggestive remarks about these posts. I’m sure there are plenty of men out there that do the same when a woman is displayed with all her goodies hanging out. It’s just human nature, nothing more, nothing less.

    Thanks.

    From my perspective, it was more about the infatuation with fake thugs, as I stated no man 160lbs or less is scaring me. But most of the sistas I know are with someone living in that image, and AI is a perfect example of this he is well over 30 and acting like kids in high school, hell Lebron is more mature acting on and off the court.

  • If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!

    And also, Becky got too much to loose, I’m not talking about trailer trash working at popeyes that typically dates niccas with gold teeth. I am talking white collar here, got money, white boys looking at you like how in the hell did you pull that… There is a difference.

  • c from stl

    @If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!

    That’s perfectly fine if that’s how you feel. I’ve dated a couple of white collar white men myself and the experience was ok. All I am saying is that it doesn’t matter how much money you make or how beautiful you are, being a whore has no boundaries. And, being a ‘white collar’ corporate woman myself I know plenty of ‘Beckys’ that will drop their drawers in a heart beat for a black man and anyone else who wants it. I’m definitely not checkin’ for the type of image that is considered thuggish b/c I am a grown azz woman and I’m sure that there are some women who still are. But, there is a level of maturity that I have reached and I feel strongly that if you want to date someone outside of your race, make the reason behind it be because you like that person or find that person attractive. Stop making it because black women do this, that, or the other. If I thought like that I wouldn’t be with the BLACK MAN I have now and have been with for the last 3 years. Just food for thought.

  • Govt. Cheese

    @ c from stl

    I will try and frame an intelligent response to your answer as well. I agree that my comments were a generalization of “Black Women” as a group, but my comments were VERY consistent with the female opinions on this site.

    I recently read a blog directed at African Americans which asked who the average African American woman today would be most interested in: 1) A Young Barack Obama; or 2) A Lil Wayne type cat. It is sad to say that I feel most African American women would go with #2.

    I am speaking from my experiences too. I am 27 and now an attorney, but growing up, it seemed that proper diction and smart dressing was the ultimate repallant for Black women. However now that I am grown and doing ok for myself, I get angry gazes from Black women when I am with my white GF.

    Honestly this isn’t really about me, but I do wonder about the comments about A.I. With the exception of having millions of dollars and a sweet crossover, he is generally a bad human being. He is uneducated; has tatoos like he is in prison; has extremly violent tendencies; a poor work ethic; and a criminal record. Yet, blk women on here are saying “ooooh he can get it.”

    I dunno, I think the comments speak for themselves. Blk women (on this site) have very poor standards for the men in their lives.

  • c from stl

    @Govt. Cheese

    I honestly respect what you said, and I’ve noticed alot of immature black women of our time do tend to fall for the thuggish appeal. I am a very successful and highly educated woman getting ready to start on my PhD and I can tell you that I am emphatically NOT attracted to the lil’ wayne types. I find Barack Obama extremely appealing and wish that more black men carried themselves with the class and swagger that he has. My fiance’ is a very attractive, smart, and respectable man who was raised in a nuclear family with both parents a brother and a dog…lol. You know the typical Cosby image, and that’s the type of man that I’ve always wanted and ended up being blessed with. But, to be fair, I did go through a period of time when I found roughnecks a little sexy because of their edge. But, I was young and didn’t yet know myself and what things in life I wanted that I knew would last. Believe me, my desire for a roughneck soon fizzled when I grew up! In regards to this post and alot of others, I know I have jokingly made remarks on how s3xy a brotha is. But, as stated previously I used to find AI attractive, but I don’t anymore. I think that if you want to be with your white GF and she makes you happy that should be the end all be all. I am NOT opposed to interracial dating as long as it’s there because you like that PERSON and not because you have a problem with a few choice people of one race and decide to be against ALL of them. The only reason why I felt compelled to respond is because there are alot of black women like myself who are intelligent, educated, cultured and looking for a man like yourself (as you sound like a very good catch). There are alot of young black women who are still lost in this world and not aware of what they are doing to themselves and to society when they continue to glorify the man that has the thug appeal and thug lifestyle.

    ——————————————————————————————————

    You should not make assumptions about another man’s character if your not acquainted personally with him. You take the media’s theories and his past indiscretions and perceive him to be a bad human being.

    Did you know last year a woman who was in a car accident was stranded and A.I. came to her aid and helped her to safety. This was in virginia in 2007. If he was such a deplorable human being, he would of kept going.

    Did you know A.I. tkes his sneakers off after every game and gives it to someone in the audience.

    Did you know that A.I. paid for a man’s funeral whom he did not know because he was killed over A.I.’s trademark sneakers. He didn’t have to do that.

    You can’t determine this man’s character by his apperance, missing practice, or his past indiscretions. Nobody is perfect everyone has flaws. The media focuses on the negative. Never the positive that this man does.

    A.I. is not a violent man. I have seen him on that court get hammered repeatedly and just dust it off and play. He has not done prison time for violence, and his past charges were dropped.

    I do agree that these women are loose and don’t care about the sanctity of marriage which is deplorable, but I will not disparage the man’s character and call him a “bad human being” because of women who have no repsect for themselves or a marriage.

  • c from stl

    @Toothrough, you’re right, we shouldn’t judge a man’s character based on the negative attention the media gives him.

    We also shouldn’t judge every single black woman’s sexual prowess based off a few bad apples. Whether it’s directly or indirectly, it’s still a judgment and it’s still not right to do so without being informed.

  • Toothrough

    Furthermore may I add, A man with no tatts, wears a suit to work and college educated never made a good person, loving father or a good husband.

    A good man is loving caring, considerate, giving, kindhearted, generous. These sare some endearing qualities.

    A bad human being can be selfish, mean, uncaring, envious. You can’t judge a book by its cover.

    A man who wears cornrows, baggy clothes and tatts, and earings can have endearing character traits and automatically he is dismissed as a no good thug human being because of his appearance. How sad. No one has the right to jusge another by his appearance. That is wrong.

  • c from stl

    @Toothrough, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Every person has their own style and choice of dress and their inner being should not be judged by their outer exterior. Unfortunately stereotypes will always get in the way of everything when it comes to the media.

  • Toothrough

    @ C from stl

    That is true. I am just fed up with the women on this site who degrade themselves with these negative post “which one would you hit and who is packing more.” How disgusting. The kenny latimore post is a prime example. He has been happily married to chante for over 10 years, and is never seen without her. These women on Bossip don’t give a damn. Instead of ignoring the post they jump right in with their disgusting commentary like loose whores. It’s pathetic and disrespectful. It is not all in fun when these celebs children read the filth. All they have to do is google.

  • WordtotheWise

    Roe ski Love>>>No! You are NOT the only one that gets turned off by those comment, whether in fun or not especially when it involves a married man. JMO.

    @If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree! and Govt. Cheese>>>Please grow up and quit acting as though black women are the only ones that like thugs. Come visit Portland, OR and I’ll show you white girls that will drop their panties for any black man that gives her play. Let me educate you a bit. Do you think these athletes only screw around with black women? Do you think that white women aren’t attracted to money or thugs? Is there a need for black men to put white women on a pedestal in order to make yourselves feel more superior. Black men and your constant diatribe about black women is getting tiring, old, and quit sickening. I don’t care if black men date, marry, screw, white (my sister in law is white, but my brother knows it’s not the color but the character of a person that makes who they are – he’s not color struck like so many black males are). Quit acting as though white women don’t have to wash their behinds like everyone else. It’s just that SOME black men overlook their faults because their skin color makes up for it.

  • c from stl

    @Toothrough, I really understand your point, but maybe just stop taking alot of what these woman say seriously. I really think that Bossip does like to stir the pot and add little bait like statements that make people respond, but on a site like this, it’s all in fun. Heck, alot of times I read these responses just for the entertainment and laugh out loud. Alot of the people who post on here are just trying to get attention…

  • Toothrough

    @ C from STl

    I don’t think it is funny at all and I am a black woman might I add. It is sad that people don’t have respect for a marriage. Some of these men have children who have acess to the internet. It is not funny when women are making sexually explicit remarks in writing about a man who is married with children. I just don’t think it is right. Most of these women who are commenting given the chance would have no problem with opening their legs to a married man in secret who is a celeb.

    @Toothrough

  • Toothrough

    might I add, your just expressing how you feel inside on the internet. given the chance you would act on those feelings.

  • big boss

    if you wanna win a championship, don’t sign iverson. he is a me first point guard…sorry AI you’re gonna lose in the 2nd round this year. Have fun in the offseason with SUPERHEAD.

  • WordtotheWise

    @c from stl>>>Thank you!

    @Toothrough>>>It gets to the point where I just skip over the foolishness, and like c from stl said, Bossip posts things just to stir up the pot and cause controversy, and people bite every time.

  • c from stl

    @Toothrough

    I guess I find myself not taking it seriously because of the fact that it is a gossip website and that’s just a part of it. I laugh because alot of the responses are UNBELIEVABLE and definitely over the top. It’s entertainment for me, but I can understand not wanting children to be exposed to alot of the ignorance. I think that it’s also important to realize that whether it’s a website or some other form of media, people will still have their opinions regardless….

  • Oh Please!

    Seriously people would you knock it off already?! Some of you are making sweeping generalizations about people’s character, sensibilities,etc. based on random blog comments. This is an anonymous venue in which people say things off the cuff. One can no more conclude that the women on this site (mind you not all the women commenting are black)have poor standards than I can assume you hate all black women because you have a white girlfriend.

  • c from stl

  • ECOUTTADAQC

    why is he STILL rockn those dreadful braids??? can’t front, he’s still a cutie ! and if it wasnt for that dirty d*ck of his, i’d hit

  • Vandellish

    All I remember is A.I. crying like a biotch on the Sixers bench after that playoff loss in the 90′s.

    Search youtube: Allen Iverson 2000:Gm 6 vs Pacers End up in TEARS.
    Watch him pull a Glen Davis at about 4:40.

    That shoulda took the ‘thug’ outta him back then.

  • Anon

    I wish Iverson would have just stayed a Sixer…I could not stand watching him play next to Carmelo Anthony (who is over weight and lazy) and that Nuggets team was beyond underacheiving…he alright on the Pistons but I just wish he would have stayed with the Sixers and not demanded a trade.

    For you few broke dudes up in here talking about “he’s a shoot first PG” or “you dont get a ring because you are not a pass first PG”..Iverson is a combo gaurd, he’s one of the most unique players the L has ever seen. He is basically a SG in a PG’s body and usually plays the SG position. And if passing first is the key to winning a championship…then why doesn’t Steve Nash or Jason Kidd have a championship ring yet? Should they think about changing their style of play as well then? GTFOH!!

    Iverson was a 76er for almost 11 years…he had a good run to the NBA Finals back in 2001 (in which they ran up against the dominate Lakers team), but he has honastly never had a team that was built good enough to win a championship (I remember Charles Barkeley saying that it is not Iversons fault he doesn’t have a ring because he has barely gotten legit chances to win one). Unless you were on the SPURS or LAKERS (who pretty much dominated the league for a decade of AI’s career) you were not getting ring..infact, there was only two other teams that have gotten rings over the past 12 years besides the Lakers and Spurs and that is the Pistons and the Celtics (last year). So lets stop acting as if Iverson had so many oppurtunities to get a ring, and lets also stop acting as if he’s the only star player who still doesn’t have one. Just thought id drop some NBA knowlege on some of you hating ass people of bossip. :)

    Lastly, Iverson is a fly dude..regardless if he had money or not, he is a good looking guy. So unlike some, im sure he would never have no problem getting the ladies. And why does every conversation on Bossip have to turn into a conversation about race? I swear some of you people are so obsessed with that sh*t. Get a life already.

  • relle

    he is still so sexy dont tell the hubbie i said it though

  • MissBlaze43

    @ Roe Ski ‘n them

    Man, I’ll TAKE your European girl and lick that coochie from front to back – see how long you’ll have her then.

    This is one black woman who NEVER found AI to be attractive. And as far as liking thuggs and what-not – I’m not down with that either.

    What I AM down with is getting my two manuscripts published this year – so I can chill with the European chicks, too.

    Watch out, fellas – there’s a tongue-wagger in the house – and ALL women love a good tongue-wagger!

  • WordtotheWise

    Anon>>>He’s a good looking guy to some and not to others. I happen not to think he’s good looking (Melo is waaaay more attractive), and as far as him pulling the ladies. Hell yeah, he could. Any rich NBA player could. That’s no stretch either. Some women will hop in the sack with anyone.

  • CutieFromNYC

    Not only would I drop my panties but, I’d let him hit it and have his little tattooed nappy headed babies any day. Call Me A.I. 718-XXX-6969!
