ESPN?s Page Two features a new book on Allen Iverson by Larry Platt.  It includes two substantial excerpts.

The first piece is about AI growing up in Newport News.  It talks about the poor coach who had to drive the van Iverson was in and listen through a 14 hour monologue.  It also talks about some of the situations Iverson lived through in his teens.

The related piece is about how Iverson has succeeded while doing it his way.  Not quite a Frank Sinatra song, but it looks at things like how Iverson showed up to receive his MVP award.

The final piece is an interview of Platt by Eric Neel.
