Iverson’s experience:

Iverson was born in a single-parent family. When his mother, Ann Iverson, gave birth to him at the age of fifteen, her husband, Allen Burton, After leaving, Iverson lived with his mother. Later, his stepfather Michael Feiwen and his mother added two sisters: Bindi and Aisha. But Michael was disabled due to a car accident, and Aisha suffered from a heart disease, so his mother had to work all day to support him, while Iverson had to stay at home to take care of his sister. At the same time, he also began to fall in love with basketball and American football. But Iverson, who had no father to guide him since he was a child, grew up in hardships and was forced to hand out newspapers in exchange for food and clothing. He and his two sisters grew up without water or electricity. When he grew up, Iverson devoted himself to playing basketball like a madman all day long: "I will play hard every time, as if it is my last time."

In Hamilton Bethel High When I was in high school, Iverson was the quarterback of the interstate championship American football team. With his amazing speed and agility, coupled with the terrifying jumping ability of 41 inches tall, Iverson became an interstate champion. Point guard on a championship basketball team. Other point guards in the NBA appear to be slightly inferior to Iverson. Defending Iverson was like fighting with death: his familiar dribbling skills, wonderful turns and agile footwork always taught you to score before you react. There are less than five players in the NBA who can follow Iverson. In other words, your center has to step forward to provide assistance to prevent him from breaking through, leaving the backcourt defense weak. This scenario was commonplace long before Iverson was in high school or even before he became the most popular athlete in Hampton. Until one day, he and some friends decided to go bowling, and a turning point occurred in his life. It was this time that Iverson's star career was hit hard by the scandal he got into while going bowling.

On February 13, 1993, Iverson went bowling with his friends and then went to the snack bar. At that time, a group of white people sitting at the next table said "Damn nigger" in the commotion. In an instant, more than a dozen people got into a fight and the scene was chaotic. In the end, the police arrested four people. Iverson was one of the arrested black men. The most unexpected thing was that what was originally an ordinary fight could turn into a racial discrimination case that shocked the country. Iverson, who was only 17 years old at the time, and two friends were charged with causing injuries to others during a group fight. Although the most serious among the victims were only concussions and partial fractures, the problem was that among the many people involved in the fight, No white people were arrested. Although Iverson argued that he had not hurt anyone, it was of no avail. In the end, he could not avoid the fate of fifteen years in prison, ten of which were suspended, and he was not allowed to be released on bail or appeal. He also had to spend several years in a boys' hospital. load. This unusual case made Iverson a heinous criminal. "Only those who care about and love me will know what it is first," Iverson said angrily. "Their eyes tell me that I am still a criminal." "It was the same person." "In this incident, I finally saw clearly who they were, who really cared about me and who just talked the talk and never kept their promises." During the four months in prison, Ai Folsom truly understood the indignity brought by locking up, until one day Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder mercifully accepted his appeal and admitted that the original conviction was unjust and was pardoned.

This experience made Iverson unforgettable for the rest of his life - "It is not easy to survive." Although the charges were completely eliminated, Iverson's dream - to be able to study at Kentucky University at the same time Basketball and his favorite career, American football (Iverson: "I really can't believe I'm in basketball now instead of football"), were shattered.

Until Iverson met his mentor at Georgetown University, he gave Iverson a chance to re-enter the basketball world. Iverson's mentor was John. Coach John Thompson. He was appreciated and promoted by Coach Townsend, so he was able to successfully obtain a scholarship to attend George City University. Iverson benefited a lot from Coach Townsend's inspiring and coaxing training.

"Coach (Townsend) is like my father. He taught me a lot: how to face different people; how to deal with different situations. Always remember "life first" ""Iverson recalled saying. When he put on his uniform and went into battle for Georgetown University, the audience often shouted: "Prison" or "Go back to the cell"! . On one occasion, Coach Townsend refused to play another game until the opposing fans calmed down. Iverson said: "I can tolerate other people looking at me with colored glasses, but I will never be affected. On the contrary, it can inspire me. Anyway, one day I want these people to have nothing to say. I will be despised by others." I will work harder, so I will fight every game as my last game and fight with all my strength. "Only after setbacks can we live stronger.

Iverson knew that he had to work hard every day to overcome the challenges that came his way, and he was not alone.

On the court, teammate Ao Feina. Othella Harrington and Xie Lumei. Jerome Williams helped him become the Big East Freshman of the Year in '94-'95, the Big East Player of the Year in '95-'96, and the NCAA Player of the Year in '95-'96. Excellent defensive player.

Off the court, Coach Townsend helped Iverson stay away from rumors and temptations, and was a guiding light in his life and career. The coach's strict protection for him, at least for two years in Georgetown, was like a father born again. "Coach Townsend's willingness to accept me was like a new life for me," Iverson said. "Before I entered Georgetown University, different people had different gossips about me, but coach treated me equally and even knew that I He is a person who does not accept restrictions and allows me more freedom. I will do what I should do, but I will never let others interfere. "In two years in Georgetown, I scored an average of 23 points. He has proven it all with 4.6 assists and 3.2 steals.

In the summer of 1996, Iverson saw his four-year-old sister suffering a stroke and urgently needed medical expenses, so he decided to drop out of school and participate in the 1996 NBA rookie selection. As a result, he became the first choice and was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers. Became the smallest No. 1 draft pick in NBA history. At that time, the Philadelphia 76 were in urgent need of a point guard; the newly built stadium also needed a player with strong selling power; and the new head coach Pat Croce was full of enthusiasm for the team and expected a player who could perform the same on the court. Dedicated player. And he has the title "The Answer" - which is clearly tattooed on his left arm - and because of this nickname, he was spotted by Reebok Company, which signed a five-year and US$40 million contract and invited him Become a product promotion player under the company's contract.

His talented basketball instincts have been fully revealed in the NBA, and he is especially known for his superb dribbling skills. With smooth movements and seamless coordination between his left and right hands, he can easily twist past the opponent's defender and successfully dribble the ball into the basket. His outstanding performance in the first year has left a deep impression on people. He even scored more than 40 points in five consecutive games, and one of them set a career high of 50 points, becoming a player in NBA history. The first newcomer to achieve such a brilliant record. In the end, as a rookie, he ranked sixth in the NBA in scoring (average 23.5 points), seventh in interceptions (average 2.07 goals) and 11th in assists (average 7.5 goals), becoming the 1997 NBA Rookie of the Year. , and even won the MVP award in that year's Star Rookie Competition. In 1998/99, he defeated O'Neal and won the reputation of scoring champion, ranking third in interceptions (average 2.29 goals) and having the most interceptions in one game in the NBA playoffs (10 goals). Therefore, when Michael Jordan is promoted to a superhero in the minds of modern people, it is unfair to assume that Iverson will not be able to catch up in the next ten years. If Jordan's perfect image is the representative of the middle class in the 1980s, then Iverson can be regarded as a leaping and unruly group in the 1990s.
