Allen Iverson Wants You to See Kobe Bryant's Prom Tuxedo

Allen Iverson's Twitter feed is not exactly chock-a-block with personality. He shouted out his pride in @theRealJRSmith after the Cavs disrupted the Warriors, but the Answer doesn't seem to share his protege's shirtless joie de vivre, at least in the 140-character sphere. In fact, the bulk of his Tweets in the last few weeks have been promotions for events he's hosting such as the Allen Iverson Celebrity Summer Classic in Philadelphia August 4-5th, a weekend of basketball, a FlashBack Friday Block Party—gentlemen, sport your do' rags—and an UnGala with food, drinks, dancing, and perhaps photo ops with Pusha T. (Presumably at the deluxe price.)

So where does one go for their daily dose of Iverson news, and not just golf outing promos? Why Facebook, of course. Home to all the quasi-racist memes and celebrity beach sightings you can handle. But as we flip to A.I.'s homepage, we learn so much more. Right from the jump. Apparently, Iverson's interests include:

• Making sure travelers are getting everything they can out of their smartphones.
• Pondering the wild idea that Private Ryan could have been played by Barney Stinson.
• Studying the types of folk most preferred by your average mosquito.
• Recalling a list of forgotten songs from the early 2000's that doesn't include Crazy Town's "Butterfly".

What's really interesting about the wide-ranging, eclectic, offbeat posts on the Answer's Facebook page is that apart from updates that revolve around Allen Iverson, noteworthy human being, they all come from the omniscient website, providr.com. It provides whatever you need!

So long as what you need is bullshit content from a viral content mill. Like say Digital Mavericks, a targeted marketing company that "serves clients through streamlined social media monetization and digital marketing services and manages high profile celebrities and sports figures, major brands, artists, musicians, and larger social groups with significant fan bases." And blah, blah, revenue stream, blah, blah, monetization, blah, blah, profitable long-term strategies…

(Quick shout-out though to Digital Mavericks CEO Rock Argall for having the strongest WWE-inflected handle for an online argly-bargly in United States history.)

Iverson isn't alone. Apparently Waka Flocka Flame helped blaze the trail for #gobbledygook #content that, if The Awl is correct, adds up in a hurry. Good on Iverson for making that dollar, but having a Facebook page filled with links to listicles featuring Jimmy Fallon's prom photos sucks for the fans. There is no such thing as a social media contract, but as a 76ers fan of long-ass standing, I'd be generally curious as to what's going on in his life, even in a sanitized Facebook sort of way.

Sure, the idea that Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford were also considered for the Tom Hanks Saving Private Ryan role is absolutely bonkers, but I'd rather consider the insanity of the Tyronn Lue cross-over step-over any day.
