Summary: In the conclusion of this book, AI has to adjust to new types of things on his team, the 76ers. Instead of being a defensive-minded team, the team became more offensive-minded because of the addition of players who could shoot from the outside and they were looking to score alot more. This would affect Iverson greatly since he is just a pure scorer and can simply put the ball in the basket. Now he was surrounded by people who were more like him. What this conlcusion also holds is the infamous case that involved AI and his possesion of guns. Although there was a witness that said AI possesed a gun, the character of that witness was not mature and also, there were no present victims and nobody was harmed.
Quote: "Within weeks of the Sixers' ousting from the playoffs, the Iverson-Brown saga, one of sports' most interesting psychodramas, came to a sudden close" (Platt 262).
Reaction: Well I also think that this has been an interesting psychodrama because just watching this on actual TV a while ago was just really exciting in a way. What this pretty much was was that AI and coach Larry Brown had a lot of disputes and it would have an affect on the team. As far as right now, they have a good relationship but back then, they would have their disputes and AI would disobey team rules. One for example was not showing up ti practices without any type of warning. I do agree with the part of the quote where they said it came to a sudden close. This actually did come to a sudden close and everything was all well again between coach Brown and AI.
