"Allen Iverson was impossible to ignore, a one man hurricane, on
the court and off; equal parts dynamic and depressing. With Not a
Game Kent Babb brilliantly tells his story and it's a tour de force
like AI himself."--Dan Wetzel, National Columnist, Yahoo Sports and
New York Times bestselling author
"Allen Iverson's is a life unfathomable to most. With Not a Game,
Kent Babb questions the enigma that is The Answer, taking readers
into a world most don't know -- and, quite frankly, most don't want
to know -- exists in America."--John Valenti, Pulitzer
Prize-nominated journalist and author of Swee'pea, the story of New
York City basketball legend Lloyd Daniels
"Babb's thorough storytelling empathetically ebbs and flows between
Iverson's trials and triumphs, connecting the dots while taking the
reader on an emotional truth-seeking ride of nostalgia, hope, and
exasperation . . . . Not a Game is engrossing and definitely to be
read and discussed."--Shana Renee Stephenson, founder and
editor-in-chief, AllSportsEverything.com
