“The true definition of a son” -NBA legend Allen Iverson shares heartfelt post on his son days after making sweet gesture towards ex-wife (Image source: Getty) Former NBA legend, Allen Iverson shares a heartwarming post for his son, Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson on his Instagram. The post contains photos from Isaiah’s childhood, teenage years, and graduation ceremony. Allen went on to praise him saying that he’s the true definition of what a son should be, and the way he always looks out for family is what makes him better than others. He goes on to say how proud of a father he is. However, this post came days after Allen dedicated an entire post for ex-wife, Tawanna Turner. Allen Iverson shares posts dedicated to son Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson and wife Tawanna Turner Allen Iverson talks profoundly about his son Isaiah on his recent Instagram post. He talks about Isaiah’s qualities and how he is a son that every father will be proud of. “The true definition of a son,” says Allen as he starts the post, showing how proud he is of Isaiah.Iverson further went on to say how Isaiah takes care of his mother and siblings, and never disrespects his parents. He also went on to say that Isaiah always puts family first and takes responsibility heads on. From his post it seems after Allen and Tawanna separated, it was Isaiah who put on the “head of the family” tag and took good care of the family. However, this post comes days after Allen dedicated an entire post to ex-wife Tawanna Turner, with whom he shares five children, Allen Iverson II, Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson, Dream Alijha, Tiaura, and Messiah Lauren. The post had a montage of the couple’s photos from prom, early court days, and as such. Allen captioned the photo as “HER” followed by heart and crossed fingers emoticons.Allen and Tawanna tied the knot in 2001, and had a happy marriage for quite some years. However, trouble entered their married life in the form of lavish expenditures, Iverson’s questionable parenting skills, and alcohol habits. In 2013, when Iverson retired from the world of NBA, his married life also came to an end. The couple called it quits in 2013 and agreed to co-parent their kids. Their divorce made headlines back in 2013 due to all the chaos it unraveled. With Iverson being officially bankrupt and declaring in the court that he doesn’t even have money for a cheeseburger to Tawanna literally pulling out $61 from her purse and giving it to the NBA legend, the couple has seen it all. Tawanna has been Iverson’s rock through all ups and down, and they still remained friends after the divorce. Iverson even gave a special shoutout to Tawanna in his Hall of Fame speech in 2016. However, it seems Allen’s life turned upside down soon after his lady luck left. After retirement, Allen spent all of his fortune on expensive cars, and lavish lifestyle. Due to this, he became bankrupt by 2015. Despite getting into the Hall of Fame in 2016, life was still in shambles for Iverson. The once NBA legend was back in square one, starting from scratch.Allen was at his top during his time with the Philadelphia 76ers, when he won the MVP of the year in 2001. He also went on to win the Rookie of the Year award in 1997. During the Game 1 of NBA Finals of 2001, Iverson scored 48 points against the Los Angeles Lakers, which was a record in itself. It was during this time that Iverson was the peak of his career, after which his life took a complete 180-degree turn.However, things have started taking turn for Iverson as he recently signed a deal with Reebok and agreed to be the Vice President of basketball division for the brand. He had earlier made a lifetime deal with Reebok back in 2001, which brought him $800,000 per year. The contract also had a clause that stated Iverson will get an additional $32 million at the age of 55. Will the new role help Iverson turn the course of events or will he fall back into old habits? It remains to be seen.Also Read: Carmelo Anthony spilled beans on weirdest reason why Larry Brown suspended LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Amar’e Stoudemire just before Olympics

WTC Final: Josh Hazlewood confident ahead of Lord’s clash, eyes return after injury layoff | Cricket News

WTC Final: Josh Hazlewood confident ahead of Lord’s clash, eyes return after injury layoff | Cricket News

Josh Hazelwood (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images) Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood expressed confidence about bowling in England ahead of the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord’s on June 11. Having taken 52 wickets in 12 Tests in England at an average of 26.07, including five wickets in his recent Ashes appearance at Lord’s, Hazlewood plans to increase his pace before the crucial match.Hazlewood hasn’t played Test cricket since December 2024 at The Gabba against India due to a calf strain. Scott Boland, who replaced him, claimed a 10-wicket haul against India at Sydney, creating competition for the third seamer’s position at Lord’s.“Any time I bowl in England, I’m reasonably confident. I’ve had some good tours here over the last 10 years, and Lord’s in particular. I haven’t lost before at Lord’s yet as a player, certainly in red-ball cricket for sure, and we have had a couple of good wins there over the years.”“Today is sort of post-flight and just to get moving. I will probably nail down a few more overs tomorrow and then over the next few days, tick a lot of boxes,” Hazlewood told ICC on Saturday.Hazlewood’s recent participation in IPL 2025, where he won the title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has helped him maintain his bowling rhythm despite a minor shoulder niggle. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy “I ticked over some good overs just before the (IPL) Final in Ahmedabad in different weather than this, and it was quite a tough session. And then obviously, every time you play a game in the IPL, you’re probably going to get almost seven or eight overs in, if you really want to.”Quiz: Who’s that IPL player?“So in and around with warm-ups, and obviously the four overs in the game. And we bowled second a lot of the time in IPL, so that was sort of two warm-ups, so you can squeeze in overs here and there, and things are going pretty well.”“Everyone looks in good shape. We’ve all been in different parts of the world playing or training over the last couple of months, so it’s good to get everyone together and catch up with everyone yesterday and the day before and get all on the same page moving forward.”

TOI Impact: Wrestling Federation of India suspends 30 overage wrestlers for breaching rules; coach handed lifetime ban | More sports News

Wrestling Federation of India Pic: (ANI) The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has suspended 30 overage wrestlers in the past month after investigating over 400 cases of athletes competing illegally at junior levels with fake birth certificates. The investigation revealed that wrestlers from Haryana obtained fraudulent documents showing Delhi as their birthplace to participate in junior competitions, with two overage athletes even winning medals at the recent Khelo India Games in Bihar.The WFI discovered that most wrestlers obtained fake certificates from Delhi’s Narela and Rohini zones, with approximately 300 cases from Narela alone. The remaining cases were from areas like Sultanpuri and Mangolpuri in the Rohini zone, with many certificates originating from Begampura.“We do not want to spoil careers of wrestlers, so we have just barred them from the junior level competitions, like U18 and Cadets. They should compete at the senior level, if they are over 18 they must represent their original state,” a senior WFI official told PTI.The official explained that these wrestlers, influenced by their Haryana coaches, paid bribes to obtain fake birth certificates. The federation worked with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Delhi Cantonment Board to verify and investigate the complaints.“Out of 436 cases, around 300 were from the Narela zone, while the rest were from the Rohini zone like Sultanpuri and Mangolpuri. Most of them were getting certificates from Begampura. All of them wanted to represent Delhi since getting selected in Haryana teams is not easy. We approached MCD and the Delhi cantonment Board after receiving complaints and upon investigation and verification it was proved they were fake certificates,” the official said. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy The federation also identified a female wrestler at the Khelo India Games who submitted a fraudulent certificate allegedly issued by the Delhi Cantonment Board. The board confirmed they had not issued any such document.“Actually the coaches are to be blamed. They wants their wards to win medals at competitions to become famous. That greed drives them to have overage wrestlers competing at junior level,” the official added.The investigation revealed that wrestlers paid cyber cafe owners to create fake bar codes on certificates. These bar codes would display false information when scanned, making the certificates appear genuine. The WFI has now decided to reject recently issued birth certificates.Quiz: Who’s that IPL player?In a separate development, the WFI has banned Sanjay Lather, a Haryana coach, for life following a sexual harassment complaint during the Khelo India Games.“We had received a complaint that this coach, who was appointed by the state government, had entered the room of a female wrestler after the competition ended. The Internal Complaints Committee duly investigated the matter and decided to terminate him from all wrestling activities for life,” the official said.The suspended wrestlers must now approach the WFI to apologize for their actions. The federation will then consider their cases individually.
