  Basketball was his path out of poverty(贫穷).Had he not played the game, he would be Allen Iverson the car repairer, dustman or even drug dealer(毒贩), copying his father’s lifestyle and those of most of his childhood friends.

  But he saw fame and success in a basketball and the 28-year-old has built his kingdom on the courts of NBA.Though he was suffering flu, he scored a season-high 50 points as Philadelphia 76ers beat Atlanta Hawks 98-86 on November 30.He is now the league’s leading scorer with an average of 28.4 points per game.

  Unlike other NBA stars, his success is not due to his size.At 1.83 metres, Iverson is no giant but he isn’t afraid to challenge bigger guys.“I just hit shots, ” he said.“The basket sometimes looks like an ocean.”

  He is known as “the answer” and 76ers’ fans hope he can be the answer to their prayers for an NBA championship.They might be in luck as Iverson has had to find solutions to tough problems ever since he was a child.

  “I used to come home and there would be no lights, no food, only unpaid bills, ” he remembers of his childhood.Never having met his real father, Iverson became man of the house at the age of 12 when his stepfather was arrested.

  But his mother, despite being poor, never gave up hope for her son.“I have never looked up to anyone apart from(除……之外)my mum.She means everything to me, ”he said.“She inspired me and she made me believe I could be somebody and I could do something with my life.”
