Allen Iverson and I

The character in my book is Allen Iverson, one strong connection between me and Allen is that he was told he was too light to play in the NBA, i was told i wasn't big enough to play football and keep up with the bigger players. Allen took that as a challenge, as so did I. At the beginning of summer I was third string running back, it looked as if I would not even see the field, as time progressed I kept working hard to move up but I just couldn't. The coach tried me at reciever and I got my shot. Allen was given his shot and right away he proved everyone wrong, and in just a few seasons he became MVP.
