'The true definition of a son' -NBA legend Allen Iverson shares heartfelt post on his son days after making sweet gesture towards ex-wife (Image source: Getty) Former NBA legend, Allen Iverson shares a heartwarming post for his son, Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson on his Instagram. The post contains photos from Isaiah's childhood, teenage years, and graduation ceremony. Allen went on to praise him saying that he's the true definition of what a son should be, and the way he always looks out for family is what makes him better than others. He goes on to say how proud of a father he is. However, this post came days after Allen dedicated an entire post for ex-wife, Tawanna Turner. Allen Iverson shares posts dedicated to son Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson and wife Tawanna Turner Allen Iverson talks profoundly about his son Isaiah on his recent Instagram post. He talks about Isaiah's qualities and how he is a son that every father will be proud of. 'The true definition of a son,' says Allen as he starts the post, showing how proud he is of Isaiah. However, this post comes days after Allen dedicated an entire post to ex-wife Tawanna Turner, with whom he shares five children, Allen Iverson II, Isaiah Rahsaan Iverson, Dream Alijha, Tiaura, and Messiah Lauren. The post had a montage of the couple's photos from prom, early court days, and as such. Allen captioned the photo as 'HER' followed by heart and crossed fingers emoticons. Allen and Tawanna tied the knot in 2001, and had a happy marriage for quite some years. However, trouble entered their married life in the form of lavish expenditures, Iverson's questionable parenting skills, and alcohol habits. In 2013, when Iverson retired from the world of NBA, his married life also came to an end. The couple called it quits in 2013 and agreed to co-parenting their kids. However, it seems Allen's life turned upside down soon after his lady luck left. After retirement, Allen spent all of his fortune on expensive cars, and lavish lifestyle. Due to this, he became bankrupt by 2015. However, things have started taking turn for Iverson as he recently signed a deal with Reebok and agreed to be the Vice President of basketball division for the brand.

Reebok Taps Slam Jam as Partner in Europe, North and Central America
Authentic Brands Group is partnering with Slam Jam to increase the exposure of its Reebok brand in Europe as well as North and Central America. As part of the deal, the Italy-based streetwear company will work with the Reebok Design Group, the brand's global design organization, to expand the brand's reach and product offering with retailers around the world.

'The brand has been pushing the edges of culture through sport and lifestyle for generations, giving voice to local and global movements with impact.' Founded by Benini in 1989, Slam Jam has been a pioneer in streetwear and sneaker culture and was instrumental in introducing global brands to the European market. 'Slam Jam is a proven leader and tastemaker in the global fashion and streetwear space,' said Steve Robaire, executive vice president of Reebok. 'Their history, credibility, and connection to top retail partners make them the ideal partner to help usher Reebok into its next era. This partnership reflects a complete rebirth of our strategy, bringing Reebok to market with a sharp cultural lens and the authenticity that Slam Jam has embodied for over three decades.' Reebok had previously worked with New Guards Group which had operated the European operations of Reebok's branded stores and e-commerce and worked to build wholesale distribution of the brand there. It was also the exclusive partner to create and distribute high-end collaboration products in more than 50 countries, including the U.S., Canada and throughout Europe. But the deal soured and Authentic terminated that relationship last fall after NGG cited 'unfavorable economic terms' with the licensing deal. That opened the door for the Slam Jam partnership. Two weeks after losing the Reebok license, New Guards Group filed for Chapter 11-style proceedings in Italy. Authentic owns more than 50 brands globally that generate some $32 billion in annual retail sales. In addition to Reebok, it also owns Champion, Nautica, Sports Illustrated, Brooks Brothers, Vince Camuto, Sperry, Hunter and Ted Baker.

What to Stream: Addison Rae album, ‘Presence' and Ariana Madix returns to Fiji
A Shaquille O'Neal docuseries about his time at Reebok's basketball division is one of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Ariana Madix returns to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.,' TikTok star Addison Rae offers her debut album 'Addison' and then there's "Presence,' Steven Soderbergh's movie entirely from the perspective a ghost. New movies to stream from June 2-8 — 'Presence,' one of two excellent Steven Sodebergh-directed, David Koepp-scripted movies released this year, arrives Tuesday on Hulu. The film, a nifty, experimental little thriller, is filmed entirely from the perspective a ghost inside a home a family has just moved into. From a floating point-of-view, we watch as the mysterious presence, piecing together a past trauma while observing the unfolding a new one. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called 'Presence' 'a heady experiment that transcends the somewhat gimmicky-on-paper premise — something Soderbergh manages to do alarmingly well and regularly.' — Tyler Perry 's latest, 'Straw,' stars Taraji P. Henson as a struggling single mother who, desperate for money to pay for her daughter's prescriptions, robs a bank. The film, co-starring Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor and Sinbad, debuts Friday, June 6 on Netflix. — For anyone still mourning the death of Gene Hackman, a new series streaming from Thursday on the Criterion Channel collects some of the late actor 's best films. That includes William Friedkin's seminal 1971 New York thriller 'The French Connection,' Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 masterpiece 'The Conversation' and Wes Anderson's 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' a movie in which Hackman's strained relationship with the director has been a subject of conversation following his death. But also don't miss Arthur Penn's 1975 'Night Moves,' a quintessential '70s neo-noir that gave Hackman one of his most indelible roles in the private eye Harry Moseby. — Film Writer Jake Coyle New music to stream from June 2-8 — Has there been a more seamless transition from TikTok social media star to full-fledged pop music force than that of Addison Rae? On Friday, June 6, she will release her debut LP 'Addison,' one of the year's most anticipated releases – from the Lana Del Rey-channeling 'Diet Pepsi' to the trip-hop 'Headphones On.' She's managed to tap into a kind of late-internet cool through a hybrid approach to pop music and a lackadaisical singing style. Could it be 'Addison' summer? Only time will tell. — Need your Cynthia Erivo fix between 'Wicked' films? She's got your back. The multihyphenate will release her sophomore LP, 'I Forgive You' on Friday, June 6, a collection of big belts and even bigger vulnerabilities, with gorgeous songs that sound as though they were ripped straight from Erivo's diary. Listen closely and carefully for maximum enjoyment. — Anyone who thinks the mainstream music listening world has lost interest in rock bands needs to simply look at Turnstile, the Baltimore hard-core punk band that could. They've largely left those harsh sounds behind and have opted for something more melodic and accessible — which is, arguably, part of the appeal for those curious parties — but they've maintained their hard-core ethos and edge. 'Never Enough' is gearing up to be the biggest release of their career so far, and we say it's time to get on board. And get in the pit. — Music Writer Maria Sherman New television to stream from June 2-8 — Ariana Madix has returned to Fiji as host of a new season of 'Love Island USA.' The new episodes have big shoes to fill. Last season was the top-rated reality series of 2024. It also broke through the cultural zeitgeist with social media memes and water cooler conversation. Madix says she's not worried about duplicating that success, and wants the contestants to focus on 'creating their own lane by being truly themselves and bringing themselves to it, you'll never lose by doing that.' The show premieres Tuesday and will air six nights a week on Peacock. — As a teenager, Kristin Cavallari was a breakout of the MTV reality series 'Laguna Beach' because of her unfiltered honesty. She's carried that with her throughout other reality shows and to her podcast 'Let's Be Honest.' Cameras rolled when Cavallari took the podcast on the road in March. That will air as the docuseries 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour' beginning Wednesday on E!. It streams on Peacock. — Shaquille O'Neal also has his own docuseries coming to Netflix Wednesday called 'Power Moves with Shaquille O'Neal.' It's an inside look at his efforts as president of Reebok's basketball division. Allen Iverson is vice president. Both have a history with the brand. In 1992, O'Neal signed a deal with Reebok as a rookie playing for the Orlando Magic. Iverson famously inked a lifetime deal with the brand one year prior in 1991. The series will show the two pro ballplayers work to make Reebok Basketball cool and competitive in the sneaker market. It drops Wednesday. — Get your feel-good TV fix with Apple TV+'s new show, 'Stick.' It stars Owen Wilson as Pryce, a broke and divorced former pro golfer who could use a break. He finds it in a teen phenom named Santi and volunteers to be his coach. The show is about chosen family and second chances. 'Stick' premieres Wednesday.
