Allen has three cars that he's seen in most frequently: his Mercedes CL600, his Range Rover 4.6 and his favorite, a Bentley Azure.
As a child in one of the apartments his family lived in, Allen drew a mural of Michael Jordan on his bedroom door. When the family moved, Allen begged the landlord to let him take the door, but he wasn't allowed.
Allen's favorite actor is Al Pacino; his favorite actress is Halle Berry.
Allen believes loyalty is one of the most important virtues anyone can have. It's a belief that was reflected his summer by his decision to sign a lifetime endorsement deal with Reebok.
Loyalty in Allen's life played itself out again this past summer when he married his high school sweetheart Tiwanna Turner.
After arriving in the League with only a few scattered tattoos, Allen now boasts more than 20.
He got his original tattoo, a growling bulldog with the words "The Answer" scrawled underneath, before he went to Georgetown because he was the "answer" to all of the school's problems. Ironically though, the bulldog supposedly has nothing to do with the Hoyas. Allen just likes bulldogs.
Just a few days after Allen's wedding, one of his groomsmen, Rashaan Langford, was tragically shot to death in an argument in Hampton, Virginia. Now, before every foul shot, Allen touches his left elbow as a tribute to Ra.
Allen has two children, a daughter named Tiaura and Allen, Jr., nicknamed "Deuce."
For his MVP press conference last season, Allen wore a Newport "Bad" News t-shirt, that listed on the back the toughest neighborhoods from back home so that his friends from home would know he was thinking about him.

"My body hurt(s) so much sometimes that I don't even want to get up and go to a game."

- Allen Iverson from "The Life"
While The Life cameras were with Allen on game day in Philly, he had a "mini hair emergency" when his braids started to come out. He immediately called Dionne, his personal hair stylist to come to the arena to fix his cornrows. Dionne is on call 24 hours a day for Allen … Allen's nickname from home is "Bubbachuck". When he was born, his mom was trying to figure out what to name him. Before she came up with Allen, she took the names of two of her cousins, Bubba and Chuck, and combined them … Even though Allen had a cast placed on his left hand after breaking it in a game against the Celtics two weeks ago and the doctors told him he can't even pick up a basketball for a few more weeks, he's already envisioning suiting up for the end of the regular season to save the Sixers' playoff hopes … On sitting out because of the hand injury, Allen says: "My other injuries can heal up. If I come back and this one is bothering me a little bit, it will be the only one I have in the playoffs." … Iverson is neighbors with "Sixth Sense" director M. Night Shyamalan outside of Philly. The last we checked, Knight's house was the only one with the hoop in the driveway …
