Allen Iverson Hilariously Denies -- Then Confirms -- Claim He Spent $40,000 On Strippers

A former teammate of Allen Iverson made the claim that A.I. routinely "spent $40,000 at a strip club," but Iverson denied it. In so doing, he gave us the quote of the year.

"First of all, it was like $9,000 at most, and there were never any strippers at the TGI Friday on City Line," said Iverson. "Unless I brought them, but sometimes I brought a bunch. And I suppose, in most cases, yes, the bill could get up to 40K because they didn't have the endless appetizers back then."

So Allen Iverson just said yes, that claim is completely true in the most drawn out and interesting way he could. His honesty should be applauded.

This situation came up because of James Harden's love for partying. He has even put his party life over basketball at times. Unfortunately for Harden, we praised honest and fun personalities that sometimes cared more about partying in the 90s and early 2000s.

Not today.

Allen Iverson is a national treasure, and we should protect him at all costs. Could you imagine spending $9,000 on strippers and taking them out to eat afterwards? Here's a video clip of A.I. to make your day even better.

Never change, A.I.

Get yourself together, Harden.
