Hello，everyone, I am very glad to give the speech here. Before the talk begins, I want to know, do u like sports? Then, do u have a favorite sports player? Yeah, me too. And today I would like to introduce my favorite sports player- Allen Iverson to everybody.
Iverson, also called the answer, I3, is a legend in national basketball association. In 1996, he was accepted by the Team 76ers with the identification of t he very best player. Since then, he started his fantasy life as the shortest but the most excellent shooting guard.
Iverson is only 183centimeters high. However, he has broken lots of records and harvested many honors. His defense penetration ability is unique in the association. And these are the honors he got.
Though Iverson’s performance in the game was brilliant, his career was not very successful. He worked in 76ers for his greatest 10 years and became the leader of the team. But he was later transferred to Detroit Pistons、Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies in the next four years. Last regular season, not satisfied with his alternate role, Iverson announced his retirement in 2010.
Iverson is a great basketball player definitely, but what attracts me most is his diligence and sincerity. He once said: I play every game as if it is my last.我把每一场球赛都当作我的最后一场。No matter what, just do not give up .Always believe that your dream can come true & just keep working for what you want to achieve. 无论如何都不要放
弃。总要相信你的梦想是可以实现，并且努力地为它奋斗.And this deeply touched and inspired me.
The first time I got known him was in a magazine, anyone who love basketball should know, the Dunk. There was a report about him, titled more blue than the sea, referring to Iverson’s blue shirts，marked number 3, as well as his blue sorrows. In the referring photo, Iverson’s big eyes are full of guilt. This is the year he was transferred from Detroit to Denver. He told the media the below words that burst my tears at the right moment:”I felt sorry to my wife. She has adapted to the life in Detroit and she loves the city. She doesn’t want to move any more. I should provide her an enjoyable life, but I failed.” From these words, I see a man who is in deep love with his wife and I decide to love this man ever since.
Leaving NBA, Iverson joined an European team and claimed his quit after an inju ry. Then I haven’t got his news for a long time. But last week, I heard about him. It is said that he is preparing for the Las Vegas star basketball game. As the captain of one of the four teams, he is organizing stars to join his team. I am looking forward to his return.
In the end, I’d like to invite everyone to share a video about Iverson’s appearance on the court. I hope you can like it, like him.
