Allen Iverson, the star of the Philadelphia 76′ers and one of the best ball handlers to ever play professional basketball, has stepped down indefinitely due to an illness that one of his children is suffering. This is Iverson’s second time leaving the team to be with his child. He missed All-Star Weekend last time. At this point in time, nobody knows when (or if) he’s going to return to the team.

This is truly sad news. Nobody deserves to watch their child suffer.
