Overview
- Melbourne charity Challenge said Iverson arrived more than 90 minutes late, declined to sign items, took a single photo and ended the visit, calling his conduct with children and families unacceptable.
- Andrew Bogut denounced Iverson on social media as an “absolute s**t human,” while Jason Cadee labeled the tour a “s**t show” and Chris Anstey cited a no‑show at a Perth fan event.
- Cadee and other witnesses described repeated lateness, minimal engagement and truncated appearances during HoopsFest in Perth, including Iverson speaking briefly before leaving a scheduled meet‑and‑greet.
- A viral Reddit post first alleged the Melbourne meet‑and‑greet fell far short of promises for children with cancer; parts of that account remain unverified despite the charity’s public criticism.
- The NBL’s exact role in coordinating Iverson’s visit remains unclear, organizers have offered limited comment on refunds, and Iverson and his representatives have not issued a public response.
