People remember Allen Iverson for the tattoos, corn rows and iconic shooting sleeve. They remember the discourse he stirred up as the bridge between hip-hop culture and basketball. They remember his step over Tyronn Lue in the 2001 NBA Finals, his financial and legal troubles and, of course, the infamous “Practice” rant. But no matter what you think you know about A.I., Iverson is a nice reminder of who the man that became a cultural icon really was.

From his life in the projects growing up and the bowling alley incident that sent him to jail in high school to excelling at Georgetown and becoming the first overall draft pick in 1996 by the Philadelphia 76ers, Iverson walks the viewer through the ups and downs of his tumultuous career and a persona that became more complicated after his brushes with racism, injustice and unfair media coverage. It sheds light on what this enigma was really trying to say when he was “talkin’ ’bout practice,” and how “The Answer” responded to constantly being labeled as a problem.

The accounts of his childhood friends and mentors, his future teammates and Philly executives, as well as A.I. himself, paint a much more complex picture than the “thug” and “gangster” image he was branded with back in the ’90s and early 2000s. Considering this documentary was helmed by Mike Tollin (the same producer of The Last Dance who convinced Michael Jordan to green light the project), and that Iverson allegedly made His Airness cry, it’s certainly worth a watch.
