Philadelphia 76er superstar Allen Iverson tells the remarkable story of his climb from an impoverished childhood in Virginia to his current position as one of the NBA's hottest players. Nicknamed “The Answer” by teammates, Iverson, at 6' and 160 lbs, is one of the smallest guards in the pros, but size didn't stop him from picking up the 2000-2001 MVP trophy. Interviews with family members, teachers, and former coaches shed light on Iverson's controversial past as a selfish bad boy and his maturation into the dedicated team leader of today. Viewers will enjoy this Horatio Alger type tale that is packed with great footage from Iverson's most memorable NBA moments. DVD bonus footage includes Iverson's top ten plays, a look at his rookie record of four straight 40-point games, his back to back Virginia State football and basketball championships, and his Reebok ads. A solid motivational film for young players and fans, this is recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
