Misunderstood: A Memoir traces Allen Iverson's unfiltered path from a violent, impoverished childhood in Virginia's projects—marked by his mother's influence and a wrongful conviction—to his breakout as Georgetown's star under coach John Thompson and the NBA's No. 1 draft pick for the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996.​
Iverson details his revolutionary impact on basketball through his crossover dribble, cornrows, streetwear, and hip-hop fusion, which challenged NBA norms while earning him Rookie of the Year, 2001 MVP, and 11 All-Star nods, alongside Reebok's Question sneaker legacy and cultural nods in songs like Post Malone's "White Iverson".​
The audiobook captures his raw candor on personal lows, including alcohol addiction (now six months sober), his 2013 divorce as his "lowest point," legal battles, and grief, framing his "We're talking about practice" rant as frustration amid traumas, while celebrating his drive to uplift family and redefine athlete authenticity in rise, fall, and redemption.
