Kent Babb, an author and sports writer at The Washington Post, will speak Thursday about his new biography of Allen Iverson at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock.
In the book Not A Game: The Incredible Rise and Unthinkable Fall of Allen Iverson, Babb profiles the Georgetown basketball standout drafted first in the 1996 NBA draft. The book details Iverson’s rise from a troubled past to become one of the most successful and highly compensated athletes in the world, as well as what drove his failures.
A book signing will follow the noon lecture in Sturgis Hall. Seats can be reserved by emailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or calling (501) 683-5239.
