I appreciate and deeply respect Allen Iverson for his honesty and openness during his press conference.

See the re-signing press conference below.

A good number of us have created and continue to create images of ourselves which do not reflect who we truly are at the core. Some of us know why this is so, and some of us do not.

We should really give thought to who and what we wish to become, and the power that we contain inside of ourselves to make the right choices.

Let's utilize Allen Iverson, then and now, as a teachable moment with the communities we serve.
