Darius Miles’ Bankruptcy is a Cautionary Tale for Young Athletes

After filing for bankruptcy earlier in the year, former NBA superstar Darius Miles’ belongings were auctioned off last week in Belleville, IL. Miles reportedly made $62 million throughout his career that ended following a knee injury and two arrests between 2009 and 2011. Items that were auctioned off included: an autographed Lebron James jersey, an autographed Michael Vick jersey, a four-wheeler, a dining room set, four firearms, 10,000-plus DVDs and karaoke equipment.

According to the Belleville News-Democrat, Miles’ bankruptcy was the result of unpaid child support, tax debt, a failed real estate deal and overspending. Profits from the auction held at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds will go to his creditors.

Miles was a first-round draft pick with the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2000 NBA draft and signed a contract worth $9 million. Miles played in Los Angeles, Cleveland, Portland and Memphis. He also starred in a movie with Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds and landed an endorsement with Michael Jordan’s athletic brand.

Allen Iverson Faces Foreclosure on Atlanta Mansion

Former NBA superstar, Allen Iverson, is fighting to keep his Atlanta, GA home out of foreclosure. Iverson filed a lawsuit against the mortgage company claiming that he did not consent to the loan and that his estranged wife is the one to blame.

Iverson is in the midst of a messy divorce with his wife. He alleges that his wife signed off on the mortgage without his consent and purposely agreed to terms he could not meet in an effort to get back at him. As a result of Iverson’s lawsuit, the foreclosure proceedings have been placed on hold.
