Basketball star Allen Iverson, who skipped the All-Star game festivities in Dallas last weekend, was busy caring for his 4 year-old daughter, Messiah, who was at his Atlanta home with an unknown illness.
Iverson, who returned to the Philadelphia 76ers this season, said the girl, one of his five children, has been admitted to the hospital on more than one occasion and will travel to Philadelphia's Children's Hospital for further testing.
"If they find out it's pneumonia, which they hope its not, they're going to have to admit her again," Allen told reporters. "All I do is just pray on it, because that's all that can be done right now because they don't know exactly what's wrong with her."
Though Iverson has returned to practice, the team announced that it was not certain when he would return to the regular lineup.
Iverson, an 11-time NBA all star and fan favorite, is winding down a Hall of Fame-level career.

Where is your proof on this? I've never heard of tattoos causing blood diseases that are passed on to your children. Just curious.

How dare you judge this man and determine the reason for his daughter's illness! Have you no compassion? There is a family in agony here. Try being a HUMAN BEING and joining Mr. Iverson and his family in prayer for her recovery.

You are a complete and utter moron, and should be ashamed of yourself for spewing such garbage about a sick 4-year-old child.
