Aaron Iverson deservedly the uncrowned king, about his honor game everyone has seen a lot, in 2001 single core led the team to the finals, from the middle of the Lakers to win a victory, although in the end still did not win the championship but did not affect his position in our hearts.
Iverson, like most players, was born into a low-class family, and in 1975 Iverson's mother was born when his mother was only 15 years old, and his biological father liked violence and drugs and ignored their mother and son, and then Iverson's mother left Bruton with little Iverson, and Ann Iverson met Freeman (i.e., Iverson's adoptive father). The family traveled to a small city in Virginia called Newster, where the environment was also very bad to see drug dealing and gun battles in broad daylight. Although Ann worked everywhere to maintain her livelihood, Iverson's home environment was still very poor, there was no electricity, no water, no food, the sewer pipe was often broken, making the house full of dirty water, and the two sisters wore shoes all day.
After that, they lived every day, and in 1984, Iverson's mother took 9-year-old Iverson to the basketball court to practice, in fact, Iverson did not like basketball, but he saw that the football players were playing basketball on the basketball court, and Iverson began to love basketball. In 1990, Iverson entered Bethel High School and became the absolute core of the school's football and basketball teams, and in the summer of 1991, Iverson led the school's football team to the semifinals of the American League Under-17.
In 1992, Iverson led the varsity football team to a state championship and was elected "Most Valuable Player" of that year's Virginia AAA Football Tournament and was named to the Best Team. Three days later, Iverson stood on the basketball court again, and in his first high school league game, he scored 37 points to win against his opponent. 1992–93: He averaged 31.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game.
In 1993, Iverson led the school American football team to the Virginia High School Championship as a quarterback at Bethel High School, and he also led the school basketball team to the same honor. Just as the major schools were vying to get the talented teenager, fate played a big joke with Iverson, and in February of the same year, Iverson and three friends got into an argument with a group of white teenagers at the "Circle Line" bowling alley, and quickly escalated into a brawl involving more than 50 people, more than 20 of whom were seriously injured in the fierce battle. The district court quickly ruled on the case: all four blacks were sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Iverson was sentenced to 5 years in prison for leading the trouble. In December 1993, with the help of the Supreme Court's Naacotica Association for the Advancement of Colored Persons (NAACP), Iverson won the case through unremitting efforts, and Iverson was released on parole after only four months in prison.
In 1994, Iverson graduated from Bethel High School, because of his experience in prison, many basketball schools were discouraged, they were afraid of this problem teenager, Iverson's mother Ann Iverson took the initiative to find Georgetown University coach John Thompson hoped that he could give Iverson a chance, John Thompson promised her to let Iverson join the Georgetown University basketball team.
During his two years at Georgetown University, he won the NCAA Great Eastern Division Rookie of the Year Award in his first year, and the NCAA Great Eastern Division Player of the Year and the NCAA Defensive Player of the Year in his sophomore year. Iverson can average 23 points, 4.6 assists and 3.2 steals per game, and after the sophomore season, due to the illness of his poor sister in the family, and it is impossible to participate in the draft in 1997, Iverson announced in 1996 that he was also elected as he wished to participate in the NBA draft.
In the same year, there are also talented players such as Marbury, Nash, Kobe, and Ray Allen, and the Philadelphia 76ers, who have a title in hand, finally chose this second-year student from Georgetown University, and iverson has become the shortest talent in NBA history! The story after that is very familiar to everyone, but obviously, if it were not for the final change of the Virginia court, there would never be an "answer" in the NBA arena!
