Durant scores 52 in Thunder win
It just gave the Oklahoma City star a chance for a career high and the first 50-point game in the NBA this season.
Durant scored 52 points, including the go-ahead basket with 16.9 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Thunder turned away a big Dallas rally for a 117-114 victory that extended their winning streak to six games and ended the Mavericks' season-best run of four straight.
Iverson’s divorce filings reveal serious financial problems
The state of Allen Iverson’s finances has been the subject of some debate in recent years, but recently filed divorce papers don’t paint a pretty picture.
TMZ.com reports that Iverson, an 11-time All-Star and surefire future Hall of Famer, admits in the paperwork that he’s bleeding money. Iverson reportedly claimed $62,500 in monthly income against $358,000+ in monthly expenses, which include mortgage payments and obligations to creditors.
Add it up and Iverson self-reported a monthly deficit of more than $295,000 a month, which pencils out to more than $3.5 million per year. TMZ.com also reported last week that a mansion Iverson purchased for $4.5 million in 2010 is headed to foreclosure.
Iverson, 37, reportedly earned more than $154 million during a 14-year playing career with the Sixers, Nuggets, Pistons and Grizzlies. He also held a lucrative endorsement deal with Reebok that included his own signature shoe.
One of the most popular and polarizing players of the post-Michael Jordan NBA ended his playing career in 2010 after brief comebacks in Memphis and Philadelphia. Since then, Iverson has played professionally in Turkey for Besiktas and in China for a celebrity game.
In 2010, while Iverson playing for Besiktas on a two-year, $4 million contract, Philly.com reported that he was facing serious financial hardship, even though he denied that money was behind his move to Turkey.
