Allen Iverson is heading out on the road to share his story with the world.
The Basketball Hall of Famer is embarking on a book tour to talk about his memoir, Misunderstood. Iverson’s book tour will begin in New York, then New Jersey, Washington, DC, and Louisiana.
Taking to Instagram, Iverson expressed his excitement about the upcoming tour.
I’m excited to announce that my book tour kicks off this October! I can’t wait to share my memoir with you. Grab your copy now at bit.ly/AllenIversonBook, or click the link in my bio,” the caption read.
According to the description of the memoir, In Misunderstood chronicles Iverson’s “meteoric rise from impoverished child in the Virginia projects to high school champion to Georgetown University protégé of legendary coach John Thompson, and finally to NBA All-Star and Reebok’s Vice President of Basketball.”
“But while everyone may know his name, few have seen behind the curtain on Iverson’s tumultuous life. Misunderstood lifts the veil and brings you into the mind of the pugnacious, ultra-talented misfit whose foremost goal, more than fame or fortune, was always to lift his family and friends out of poverty and violence,” the synopsis continued. “In his memoir, Iverson explores how he completely shattered the mold dictating what an NBA star could be in the 1990s and 2000s.”
In his legendary career, Iverson was an 11-time All-Star, a 4-time scoring champion, and won the 2001 NBA MVP award while leading the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.
Misunderstood is scheduled to be released on October 7, 2025. Pre-order it here.
