Allen Iverson may not be electrifying fans on the court any longer, he still remains a notable figure within the sport.
The former 76ers star has long had issues with money, and even more recently, his tax troubles, but he has finally made some leeway after paying $600,000 to Uncle Sam.
The Blast reports:
“According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the IRS released a federal tax lien filed against Iverson.
The ex-NBA star was accused of owing a total of $616,068.60 in back taxes. The debt breakdown was $44,418.88 (2010) and $571,649.72 (2011).
The release means Uncle Sam considers the tax bill paid in full and no longer are attempting to collect. The lien will now be released from the property Iverson owns.
Back in September, Iverson was hit with a state tax lien by the Georgia Department of Revenue.

The grand total for the unpaid tax bill came to $200,108.37. The original debt swelled with $44,000 in interest and another $27,000 in late penalties.”
These days, Iverson currently serves as a player and coach in Ice Cube’s BIG3 league.
