Anthony Edwards Baby Mama Cries Foul: ‘$1M for 18 Years Is Unfair!’”
NBA star Anthony Edwards just paid $1,080,000 in child support all at once, covering the next 18 years for his child.

But his 37-year-old baby mama, Ayesha Howard, is not happy about it. In fact, she’s fuming.
She claims the lump sum payment is “injustice” because it blocks her from ever requesting an increase in the future.
“I already used $100,000 out of the money. What if I finish it before the 18 years is up?” she cried.

Ayesha said she accepted the original $5,000 monthly payment knowing she could return to court later to demand more if Anthony’s income increased.

“But now he paid it all at once! He made sure I’ll never see another penny from him, no matter how rich he becomes,” she said.
She blames the judges: “This is injustice to a poor woman like me. I feel betrayed.”

Now the internet is divided some are calling her entitled, others say she has a point.

It seems some men are getting wiser kudos to Hakimi.
:lol::lol:




That nigga lawyers are awesome
Dudes gotta stop skeeting in these trash ass hoes.

Bitches like her will always try to take advantage no matter what.

$1 million is enough to take care of that child when you spend your money wisely.

She hates the fact she can't buy the things she wants to support her lifestyle.

BITCH GO GET A JOB.
 

"I’d be lying if I acted like I had a plan" - Allen Iverson admits not being prepared for life after basketball started rumors of his financial struggles​

Allen Iverson admits he entered retirement without a plan, sparking years of rumors, but has since rebuilt his post-NBA life through business partnerships.

Years after stepping away from the game that made him a global icon, Allen Iverson addressed the persistent rumors that followed him through his post-NBA years.

For over a decade, talk swirled about financial instability and lavish spending, stories often fueled by his high-profile lifestyle and sudden fade from the spotlight.

Iverson has now denied the notion that he was ever truly struggling, but he admits there was truth in the idea that he entered retirement without a clear vision for what came next.

Life after retirement​

As Iverson himself explained, the thought of life after basketball was never part of his reality during his playing days, which is probably why the rumors came about in the first place.

“I never had a blueprint. I’d be lying if I acted like I had a plan and thought it all out or anything like that,” Iverson said. “Honestly, that’s where a lot of my downfalls, if you want to call it that, came from… because I didn’t have a plan. I was 21 years old. I was on the fly. I never had money before in my life. My success was on a small scale. My popularity was on a small scale… only in Virginia, you know what I mean?”
The Hall of Famer, an 11-time NBA All-Star and the 2001 league MVP, had never hidden the fact that his journey from Hampton, Va., to NBA superstardom was meteoric.

Drafted first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996, Iverson became the face of the franchise and one of the most electrifying guards the game had ever seen. His early career was a whirlwind of points, headlines, and cultural influence, with his fearless style of play redefining the modern guard position.

The years leading up to his retirement were marked by a series of transitions hinting at the uncertainty. After over a decade as the face of the Sixers, Iverson was traded to the Denver Nuggets in 2006. Subsequent stints with the Detroit Pistons, a brief return to the Sixers, and a short-lived run with the Memphis Grizzlies reflected a career entering its twilight.

In 2010, he made an unconventional move overseas, joining Turkish club Besiktas, but recurring injuries and the wear of a physically taxing playing style signaled that his NBA journey was over. By 2013, he made his retirement official, but without the stability or roadmap many athletes rely on once the cheering stops.

Iverson’s path​

Iverson said he had to learn the hard way and go through trials and tribulations because he never really had the stability and the people behind him who could teach him how to navigate life and figure everything out. When the spotlight dimmed, he faced a reality few could have prepared him for.

“I had to do it all by myself and learn the hard way,” Iverson said. “But at the same time, I think it was a blessing for me because it taught me so many things and helped to develop me into the person that I am today.”
Without the protective infrastructure some players have around them, Iverson navigated his post-retirement years primarily on his own. In 2021, he entered into a business partnership with former NBA forward Al Harrington, launching “The Iverson Collection,” a line of cannabis products under Harrington’s Viola Brands.

The momentum continued in 2023, when Reebok, long intertwined with Iverson’s image through his signature Answer and Question sneaker lines, named him Vice President of Basketball. With Shaquille O’Neal stepping in as President of Basketball, Iverson’s return to the company marked a full-circle moment, positioning him once again as a visible figure in the sport he helped shape.

While he may not have had a plan when his playing days ended, Iverson has built a post-basketball chapter on lessons learned through resilience and a willingness to evolve in public view.

 


This dude the same age as Steph but I never heard of dude. Wish he would’ve been a success in the league. Give Steph a run for his money making all those “bad shots” lol

Former All-Star guard questions Joel Embiid Hall of Fame candidacy amid injury concerns​

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has undoubtedly been one of the best players in the NBA over the years.

Since being drafted No. 3 overall in 2024, the seven-time All-Star has to carve out a legendary career for himself, highlighted by taking home the league MVP award in 2023.

During an episode of the Club 520 Podcast, former Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague gave his thoughts on Embiid's career and his Hall of Fame case.

"It ain't matter, just get your chicken, brother. He's done after these three years for sure… "That (expletive) missed so many games, though. He missed years. He missed three years. He missed his whole first year or something," Teague said.. "That boy ain't never played 70 games. He might not make the Hall of Fame, bro. How many points he scored??… 12,000 ain't that many, I scored 10 (thousand)."

Though as talented as he is, the 31-year-old center has battled through several injuries throughout his career. Last season, he appeared in 19 games, batting with nagging knee injuries. He was limited to 39 regular-season games in the 2023-24 season after undergoing Meniscus surgery.

Still, his resume is impressive, with multiple All-Star Appearances, All-NBA selections, and an MVP award to his name, minus the championship that still eludes him.

Other 76er greats, like Allen Iverson and Charles Barkley, are in the Hall of Fame without having won championships. Whether Embiid joins them in Springfield is to be seen.

One thing is certain: no one has questioned his impact when he is healthy and playing, and he'll have a strong case when it's all said and done.
