Deposition Reads ‘Like a Bad 1970s Movie’

In an August deposition, Ex-NBA star, Allen Iverson, let the opposing counsel know exactly what he thought of him.  The Detroit News, which had obtained a copy of the deposition transcript, noted that it “reads like a bad 1970s movie.”

Iverson was facing off against attorney Gregory Lattimer who had previously won a $260,000 judgment against him and had reached a confidential settlement in another case.  Iverson made it clear he thought the lawyer was specifically targeting him.

The Detroit News published this exchange:

Iverson: “I know you lurking. I know you lurking, man. I know you lurking. … How the hell you live with [it]? You’ve been involved with three suits against me. You know what to do. You got a plan.”

Lattimer: “I just go to work every day.”

Iverson: “I know, and I’m the one that pay you, and you know it. But not this time jack. … I die before I let you get me this time.”

In a subsequent interview Lattimer said, “It was quite something.  I don’t know why he was so outraged.  It’s not like I sue him every day.”
