Omaha, NE -- An Omaha entertainment company is suing A.I. for being M.I.A. for a speech it says the Denver Nuggets star guard was supposed to give in August.

Allen Iverson, who is often known by his initials, was booked to make an appearance at a high school in Nebraska, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, but failed to show.

Iverson told representatives he had a family emergency to tend to, but didn't go into further detail.

The event's promoter, Dave Chambers, is upset that 2,000 fans waited three hours to see the NBA star but left disappointed when Iverson never arrived.

The entertainment group is seeking $43,000 from Iverson for a plane it chartered to pick him up and also the rental of the facility.
