Have
you ever thought of what Allen Iverson does when he's not playing
basketball? What he does when he travels back to Philly and his
family after the games? What he enjoys to do and not to do? Well,
maybe you'll get some answers while reading this.
Iverson
likes to spend time with his family and his friends, in a matter of
fact that is the most important things in his life. Also, he loves
to be a father, wanting the kids to learn from him and the things he
has been through. His family is his whife Tawanna Turner, his kids
Tiaura and Allen II, his sisters Liesha and Brandy, and his mum and
role model Ann. AI and his long time girlfriend Tawanna got married
in July 2001. In addition to being with family and friends, he loves
to draw and read sport magazines.
Allen
Iverson doesn't dress like everyone else. He wears a lot of jewerly,
and he wears baggy clothes, also on the basketball court. Many
people think he should wear Italian suits like MJ all the time. I
don't see the point. Why can't he dress the way he wants to, and the
way that makes him feel good? Like everyone else, Allen is not
perfect, he also makes mistakes.The only difference is that when he
does it, media makes a big deal out of it. Iverson tries to learn
from every mistake he does, and he thinks he will make more mistakes
in his life. He's just hoping that it's not with the law. As a
basketball player, Iverson just wanna win, it doesn't matter how he
plays or how many points he scores, if the Sixers win the game.
"I would rather win than score a lot of points," Iverson
says. "I believe God gave me my talent and gifts. I've just
taken advantage of it and made myself better. No matter how tough it
is, you have to do the work harder to be the best and I'm willing to
work. It would be crazy to think I would come in and try to
take all the shots like I did at Georgetown," he said.
"I'm not going to change who I am and what gifts I have, but I
can use all of that in the game plan," he said. "Coach
Brown is a good teacher and the other players also help me learn. I
want to use all my ability in a team game. I want to win
championships".
On
the basketball court Allen doesn't respect anyone. He believes that
if you over-respect someone on the court, you have already lost. He
respects Michael Jordan for all things he have done for him self,
his family, for his team and the city Chicago, also the NBA. On
court Iverson doesn't respect him at all.
Allen
Iverson loves 2pac's music and he loves the way he is being real
against himself and others, but Allen doesn't like to be compared to
him. He can't find any similarity except that he was hungry for
success, and Allen is too.
