In NBA, there was a player once, maybe he is not most famous，not most popular, not most skillful，but he must be most respectful and powerful.He is born in a Black single-parent families of American, his nature father is meaning less for him. His stepfather get in prison because of selling drug for supporting the family. His only idol and best friend was murdered by a girl. He is often abused asnigger because his black although he has been famous. Infact his life is full of unfair,murder, drug, loot,rape. The only thing could be lucky for him is that his mother found his genius in basketball and he never give up himself. When he get in NBA,among the strong and tall guys ,nobody believe the small guy can get more than 10 points in a game, not to mention creating his own history. But he did it. He got 30 points in his first game of NBA.On the pitch，he never showed a little fear. Even when facing Michal Jordan, the legend of NBA, all he thought is defeating him,winning the game.In his career of NBA,he got MVP three times and he created history, the history belong to himself.
Yes, he is Allen Iverson,official height 1.83, actual height is 1.76, the smallest giant in the history of NBA.Maybe you had guess out, maybe you never heard of the name. But as a true man , as a fighter of fate，his name should be remembered. He once said: They can not break me. The only way to break me is to kill me, and everything that does not kill me makes me stronger. Although has 25 injuries in his whole body, he still try his best to get score crazily in every game, never give up. Just like he said: I play every game as if it is my last. When you see Iverson first time, you must attracted by the 21 tattoos(纹身) on his body. Among these tattoos, there are “Hold My Own”, ”Fear No One”, ” Only The Strong Survive” and ”忠” in Chinese. From these tattoos you can feel his strong belief.His nick name is Answer, the answer of his team, the answer of his family, the answer of how a true man should be.
In reality, not only Iverson but a lot other player, when they choose basketball, they also choose a kind of life that full of training and test.
Afew days ago, in the game between Lakers and Warriors，Kobe Bryant got hurtbadly andhe needhalf of year to recover.In that game, afterfell twice, he still keep fighting and just before the third time he put in two three-point-shot. Once reporter asked Kobe why he is so successful, Kobe asked that have you saw the sun of LAat the am 4 clock? Then he said he saw it every day.
