Allen Iv3rson

At a street naming ceremony in his honor, Allen Iverson returns to his hometown to reflect on his roots. Raised in poverty and violence in Hampton and Newport News, he overcame adversity to lead Bethel High to state titles. In 1993, a bowling alley brawl lands him in prison, sparking national outrage and a battle for his freedom.

The episode opens with Iverson’s Game 1 victory over the Lakers in the 2001 NBA Finals, earning national respect despite the loss. That year, he marries Tawanna Turner and mourns the murder of his close friend. Amid controversies, including the "practice" press conference and clashes with the NBA, Iverson stays true to himself, redefining the NBA and inspiring a new generation.
