All NBA legend Allen Iverson wanted was a simple home for his family in Atlanta. Simple for a guy making more than $19 million a year — a nearly 15,000-square-foot, three-story monster in the ultra-exclusive Country Club of the South development in Alpharetta, where Iverson could hobnob with other athletes, entertainers and assorted celebrities. Instead, the tattoo-covered icon of the hip-hop hoops generation contends he got a $2.2 million dump marred by such shoddy construction, his wife and four children had to abandon the home after just 60 days. Now, Iverson has hired Atlanta lawyer Kurt Hilbert and filed suit against the builder, seeking more than $6.2 million in damages. Iverson wants to force the builder to refund the purchase price of $2.2 million and to pay the family for relocation expenses, custom-built furnishings and other damages. "When you purchase a high-end home in Atlanta, it is reasonable to expect the highest quality of construction," Hilbert said. "What the Iversons unknowingly purchased was equivalent to buying a Ferrari without an engine."-- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Well, according to the article posted by the topic creator: "Pictures taken by experts hired by the NBA's four-time leading scorer show a series of horizontal and vertical cracks in brickwork on the outside of the house. Inside, the house has been plagued with settling as well as wide gaps in doorways, oak floorboards that have separated and floor-to-ceiling cracks in walls... Experts hired by the Iversons reported that the trusses in the floor system at the center of the home weren't built to handle all the weight above, causing the house to sag dramatically."

If they truly did a crappy job on the home, good luck to him. I think we all expect to get what we pay for. And for that much money, I'd expect things to be right!
