Brilliant.Allen Iverson’s Misunderstood is a powerful, unfiltered memoir that captures the essence of one of the most influential figures in sports and culture. The book is both humbling and uplifting, offering readers a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of a man who refused to compromise his identity for anyone.
