NBA Legend Allen Iverson Announces Personal News on Wednesday

On Wednesday, Iverson took to social media to announce that his new memoir, "Misunderstood," is already a New York Times Best Seller. It only took a week to reach that status after the memoir was released on Oct. 7.

"So proud to announce that Misunderstood is a New York Times Bestseller," Iverson said. "When I was growing up and my mom told me I could do whatever I wanted, I admit I was dreaming of basketball and football, not a book. I just had to dream a little bigger I guess. I want to thank all the people who have been such an intricate part of this life and this book."

The memoir is about Iverson's life growing up and how many perceive it to be different due to his great success as an athlete.

Iverson is one of the greatest basketball players to ever live and everything isn't as pretty as it seems.
