The rise of one of basketball’s most profound but controversial talents is the focus of Allen Iverson: The Answer. It covers his entire life and career, from troubled teenage superstar to brief criminal and eventually to NBA MVP.
A wealth of game footage showcases the famous lightning-fast crossover and the aggressive playing style that won Iverson both admiration and disdain at the same time in Allen Iverson: The Answer. In the end, it is a character study detailing the quiet moments when the caustic young prodigy took time to reflect upon his unlikely journey and, in doing so, inspired a generation of people throughout the world.
However, the film does not diminish his achievements; he almost led his team to victory in the NBA finals by himself, as he is never shown to be at the expense of the icon.
