Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Former NBA star Allen Iverson launched an expletive-ridden tirade against police when a car belonging to him was pulled over for a traffic violation last week, at one point telling the officer,
"Take the vehicle, I have 10 more," according to a police report.
Iverson, 35, was a passenger in a grey Lamborghini, spied by an Atlanta officer changing lanes without signaling about 6 p.m. on March 30, according to the police report obtained by CNN.
The driver, identified in the report as Antwuan Clisby, couldn't produce any do entation for the vehicle, the report said. He then told the officer his passenger needed to leave the vehicle to eat dinner, and the officer said no one was leaving until the investigation was complete.
With that, Iverson became "irate," according to the police report, saying, "I'm the (expletive) passenger." The officer radioed for backup, and a second unit arrived, according to the report. Clisby and Iverson were asked to exit the vehicle, while Iverson continued to curse at the officer, the report said.
When police scanned the identification number of the vehicle, which belongs to Iverson, it was found to have tags that expired in 2009. Iverson, former MVP for the Philadelphia 76ers, was told his car would be towed.
"Take the vehicle, I have 10 more," Iverson said, according to the report. "Police don't have anything else (expletive) to do except (expletive) with me." He then asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The officer wrote in his report that "For the next 20 minutes, Mr. Iverson went on and on about who he was. I stated to Mr. Iverson, 'It really doesn't matter who you are. You tried to conceal your vehicle with a fake drive-out tag due to you not paying for your tags.' "
Iverson then said, "I make more money than you will in 10 years," according to the report.
Clisby, the driver, asked the officers, "Would you want to pay $10,000 for a tag?" the report said.
The car was towed, and Iverson later "came back and apologized for disrespecting the police," according to the police report. "He stated he was just upset about his car."
Clisby was cited for failure to signal while changing lanes and the expired tag, the report said.
I have to LMFAO at these guys, who are ing millionaires, yet won't pay a few thou for a ing tag.
YOU OWN A ING LAMBORGHINI, ! PAY YOUR !
I make more than you will in ten years .........
but you can't pay tags for the vehicle since 2009????
my guess is that he blew all of his earnings way and y he is still trying to play basketball at 40I have to LMFAO at these guys, who are ing millionaires, yet won't pay a few thou for a ing tag.
YOU OWN A ING LAMBORGHINI, ! PAY YOUR !
This in a nuts is why Iverson quickly became a basketball pariah.
The over/under on him going to prison for "something" is 3 years......
do you know how to spell his name?
You mean this guy is still playing Basketball?
Damn Rock, he's an actor, a wrestler, AND a cop. That's a busy ass life.

I thought that was funny too. The article starts with "Allen" and the thread starts with "Alan".
I am not sure Iverson has actually "played" basketball in years. I think he dresses out and dribbles the ball around a lot. He's still wondering who those other guys are that are dressed like him. Must be hangers on.
The cop could have responded "unlike you, I can get a job in the United States."
tbh, he probably didn't pay for the tag because he's been playing overseas since then, IIRC...
Pulling you over for not signaling a line change? That sounds a like a lot of BS to me.
Iverson is a re , but this cop was being a turd too.
It's more common than not to see cops not signal lane changes. It's a violation, but maybe not as much as DWB, driving while black... especially in a Lamb.
Damn Rock, he's an actor, a wrestler, AND a cop. That's a busy ass life.
So Turkey kicked him off the team already or what?
What year was that picture taken in? Wasn't that this year's all star jerseys?
