Every queen had ladies-in-waiting. Her confidantes and chaperones, they are the forgotten agents of the Tudor court. Ever present and yet hidden behind the scenes, these women held the secrets and the hearts of some of the Tudor period's most powerful men and women.

È il ritornello che Allen Iverson, in preda ai fumi dell’alcol, pronunciò all’infinito in una famigerata conferenza stampa del 2002. I suoi Sixers erano stati buttati fuori dai playoff e lui si era scontrato per l’ennesima volta con il coach Larry Brown. È attorno a questo episodio, presagio di una vertiginosa caduta, che si avvolge come una spirale l’irrequieta esistenza di A.I., o The Answer, com’era noto a quei tempi.
