While Allen Iverson may not be playing on the NBA court, the basketball star will have to visit court for a slightly different reason.

Iverson’s wife of eight years, Tawanna filed divorce papers last Monday in Fulton County claiming that their union was “irretrievably broken.”

According to court papers, the couple has five children who she’s seeking sole legal and physical custody of. She is also said to be seeking alimony.

Just last year Tawanna filed for divorce, but called it off.

Miami Heat superstar Chris Bosh has been sued by his baby mama — for allegedly torpedoing her deal to join the cast of “Basketball Wives” … AFTER she signed her contract.

Bosh’s ex — Allison Mathis — filed the lawsuit in Orlando, FL last week … in which she claims she signed a deal with show producers which could have scored her more than $250,000 for at least 4 seasons … but Chris screwed it up.

In her suit, Mathis also includes a copy of her contract — which shows she was slated to make $2,500 per episode for the first five shows … and $5,000 for each additional episode.

It’s time again for Sports Illustrated’s Fortunate 50 — a ranking of the 50 highest-earning athletes in American sports, plus the 20 highest-earning in the world.

For the eighth straight year, Tiger Woods tops the list. But his earnings are dropping. It looks like he’ll have to scrape along with just $62 million from 2010. That’s down from $92 million the year before, and $127.9 million in 2008.

At this rate, Tiger will run out of money in never years.

Golf also provides the U.S. No. 2 — Phil Mickelson at $61.1 million.

All of which proves one thing — golf endorsements are the best in American sports. Woods’ total includes $60 million in endorsements. Mickelson’s includes $57 million. No one else in the top 10 has more than $30 million, and that’s LeBron James, who comes in at No. 3.

Well, insult has been definitively added to injury. After they beat the Miami Heat 105-95 in game 6, the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks — and owner Mark Cuban — went clubbing on South Beach.

Dirk Nowitzki who was so cool walked into the locker room alone after the Mavs clinched the title, stormed into LIV at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach with the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

A rumor has been circulating that LeBron James’ struggles in this NBA Finals series have to do with the infidelity of his girlfriend.

Rashard Lewis has shot down this rumor as bogus, and doesn’t know where it originated from.

After ESPN journalist Stephen A. Smith reported that LeBron is going through some personal issues, the internet went abuzz with the rumor that Washington Wizards forward Rashard Lewis slept with James’ girlfriend, Savannah Brinson. Brinson and LeBron have two kids. Lewis has just gotten engaged to his pregnant fiancee.

If it is true, do you think you would be able to function, if you found out your significant other was cheating on you?

Ashlyn Horry, the 17-year-old daughter of former NBA player Robert Horry, died from ìsevere respiratory issues and a host of other complications requiring a six month stay in Texas Childrens Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,” according to a report.

Ashlyn underwent numerous tests and multiple surgeries, according to the report, and nearly died on several other occasions. She was eventually diagnosed with the 1p36 Deletion Syndrome, a rare chromosome disease that is characterized by intellectual disability, delayed growth, seizures and respiratory problems.

Former NBA player Robert Horry is mourning the loss of his daughter, Ashlyn. Horry played for 15 seasons in the NBA on four different teams — the Rockets, Suns, Lakers and Spurs. He was on seven championship teams — two in Houston, three in L.A. and two in San Antonio.

MIAMI BEACH, FL — Terrelle Pryor ended his silence Tuesday — for exactly 97 seconds.

Speaking out, albeit briefly, for the first time since his college career at Ohio State ended embroiled in scandal, Pryor appeared with agent Drew Rosenhaus and gave a brief statement. He apologized to the Buckeyes, to his former teammates and to now-departed coach Jim Tressel for his role in the mess that may take down one of America’s proudest programs.

“I say sorry to all the Buckeye nation and all the Buckeye fans across the country,” Pryor said. “I never meant to hurt anybody directly or indirectly with my conduct off the field and I am truly sorry.”

Shaquille O’Neal is embroiled in a criminal case in which 7 gang members allegedly kidnapped, beat up and robbed a man who claimed to have a tape showing Shaq having sex with other women while he was married to Shaunie.

Law enforcement sources say Ladell Rowles — a member of the Main Street Mafia Crip Gang in L.A. who is friends with Shaq — along with 6 other members went on a search and destroy mission in L.A. on February 11, 2008. They believed a man named Robert Ross had the sex tape and they tried getting it back with the help of a gun or two.

According to the police report, the 7 gang members met up with Ross at a convenience store — Pink Dot — on the Sunset Strip.  The men allegedly surrounded Ross’ Rolls Royce Phantom with guns drawn, jumped into Ross’ car and ordered him to drive to Rowles’ house in South Central L.A.

Once there, Rowles allegedly pistol whipped Ross and demanded that he turn over the sex tape.  Ross said he would get the tape and bring it back to them.  The 7 men then allegedly took Ross’ Rolex, diamond chain and earrings, along with $15,000 in cash — then let Ross go.

The 7 men have been arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and other crimes. They are currently in the middle of a preliminary hearing and being held in jail.

Ross has a history with Shaq.  Shaq and his business manager, Mark Stevens, have a record label and allegedly told Ross they would give him a 50% cut in any artists he brought to them.  Ross claims he delivered Ray J to Shaq, but got cut out of the deal.
Ross told cops after his falling out, he threatened Shaq by telling him about the sex tape, threatening to release it unless Shaq paid up.

As for the tape, Ross claims Shaq brought women to Ross’ home and had sex with them while he was married to Shaunie. Ross told Shaq a “security camera” captured the action and it was all on tape.  But Ross told cops the security camera recycles periodically and the video no longer exists.

And there’s another twist.  Around the time Shaq and Ross had their falling out, Shaunie separated from Shaq and Ross claims he began having an affair with her.

NEW YORK — Head down, eyes focused on the ground, Plaxico Burress swayed back and forth like a receiver in the huddle waiting for the next play.

He wasn’t on a football field, hasn’t been on one for more than two years. Burress was listening to an introduction at the NationalUrban League before he spoke his piece. When the time came, Burress couldn’t have been more positive about rehabilitating his image.

“I’m a champion on the field, and my goal is to be a champion in life and off the field,” he said.

Burress, released from prison last week after spending nearly two years in jail on a weapon possession charge, will work with the National Urban League and Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

The 33-year-old former New York Giant and Pittsburgh Steeler said Monday he will be mentored by Magic Johnson and Tony Dungy.

He’ll volunteer at Urban League youth programs and recruit other pro athletes to the program, and he’ll speak out for gun control.
