APAllen Iverson has been banned from two downtown Detroit casinos because of his temper tantrums, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday.
According to the Free Press, Iverson has been known to throw his chips or cards at the dealer when he loses and has been warned about his behavior. He also has been rude to other players and to waitpersons at the MGM and Greektown casinos.
The Free Press also reported that the NBA is investigating a scuffle at Greektown that involved one of Iverson's bodyguards. The Pistons star also caused a disturbance at a casino outside of Minneapolis earlier this season, and also has a bad reputation at Atlantic City.
