Showtime to televise Allen Iverson documentary

YOU WANT the Answer? Watch "Iverson," a documentary about a pint-sized player who made a giant impact in the NBA.

The film, which debuted at New York's Tribeca Film Festival last April, will premiere on television on Showtime on May 16 at 9 p.m.

Director Zatella Beatty somehow squeezes Allen Iverson's life into 97 minutes. Touches on his childhood in Hampton, Va., his much-publicized arrest at a bowling alley brawl at 17, his college years at Georgetown and his NBA career, which included 12 seasons with the Sixers.

"Allen's story has always been one I've wanted to tell," Beatty said in a release.
