Wildly exciting as a collection of great NBA moments, Allen Iverson: The Answer is a gift to average-size couch potatoes everywhere. Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson--a 6-foot-tall, 160-pound star in a professional sport where gigantism is the norm--is the worthy subject of this NBA Entertainment tribute. If it isn't exactly penetrating as journalism (Iverson's pre-college problems with the law receive little more than a murky allusion), it's certainly fun as an unabashed valentine, full of thrilling clips. The Answer is most entertaining covering Iverson's brief basketball career at Georgetown (he was first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, leaving school after his sophomore year), through his conflicts with Sixers coach Larry Brown and beyond. While there's a sprinkling of talking heads in The Answer, the most entertaining section finds Sixers fans sharing their thoughts on camera--some while eating their lunches.

Stephon Marbury hosts this jammin, nearly one-hour celebration of the players, old school and new school, who broke the mold to create their own unique brand of razzle-dazzle basketball. The hip-hop soundtrack and stylistic manipulations are not necessary to create excitement. The thrilling NBA footage of stop-and-gos, crossovers, and ball fakes speaks for itself. DVDs freeze-frame and reverse capabilities only enhance the see-it-to-believe-it fancy footwork and breathtaking ball handling of basketballs true entertainers. Bob Cousy, Pistol Pete Maravich, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Allen Iverson, Steve Francis, Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Jason Williams, and Tracy McGrady are just a few of the represented players who have turned the basketball court into their own personal stage. Colleagues, peers, and broadcasters offer testament to their play-making prowess, but these flamboyant, wild, and reckless players who found new ways to get the hoop demonstrate why they are human highlights films.
