Interesting book, but a little short and not up to date (although obviously it was when it was written)

The Life of Allen Iverson
22 Nov 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
-Fear no One by John Smallwood Jr. is a biography about Allen Iverson. Allen Iverson is by far the greatest basketball player of all time. The press paints a false picture of Iverson. They portray him as the "bad guy", however deep down Iverson grew up in the worst neighborhoods in Virginia. He went through many struggles as a child, his younger sister was sick and medical bills stacked up, meanwhile the family was heavily indebted. His stepfather got arrested for being a drug dealer and upon being arrested he claimed the reason for leading this way of life was simply to support his family. Iverson, on the other hand, was not mad at his stepfather for choosing his lifestyle because he understood the need to raise his family. Since his stepfather was now incarcerated Allen had to take the role as the "man of the house".
-Iverson was not only an outstanding basketball player, but was also a great football player. In high school, he set records, broke records and even broke his own records. My favorite part of the book was when Iverson finally made it to the Georgetown basketball team. He became a Hoya. While he was a Hoya, one of the things he said that was written in the book that showed how hard Iverson led his life was "And growing up the way I had to grow up. That's pressure. That's life."
-The theme of the book is to keep striving for your goals, to never give up. Even though Iverson went to a juvenile detention center, he never quit. He overcame all his obstacles and is now one of the greatest and best-paid basketball players in the NBA. This book taught me to never give up my goals, and to keep pushing until I reach all my goals. I would strongly recommend this book to all the readers who have a dream.

Basketball Pro
11 April 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I think this is a good book. The book tells about his life. It was not easy living his life. You would think that Allen Iverson was just good at basketball, but he was good at football as well. Actuallly, he did not like basketball when he was little. He just wanted to play football, but now he is in the NBA. If you like Allan Iverson and basketball this is a good book to read. If you want to know more about Allan Iverson read this book.

Allen Iverson Fears No One
1 Nov 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a book a bout a young man who is born into poverty but overcomes all challenges he is faced with. Allen practices all his life and is able to make it to the NBA.This book is great because it tells you about alot of basketball games that Allen played in. The author really gets you into the game it feels like you are in the fans watching the game. There was nothing about this book that I didnt like. A part that I really liked was when Allen said "This was a perfect ending to a day" I liked it because i could get excactly what he was saying. If you love basketball you should get this book as soon as possible!
