Allen Iverson doesn't have any regrets. Not the time he ripped off the word "practice" seemingly hundreds of times during a press conference. Not the time he refused to come off the bench. And he certainly doesn't regret how he played the game.

"I'm human, I make mistakes," Iverson told Doug Gottlieb. "I'm not perfect."

For 14 years, Iverson tormented the NBA with his dazzling quickness, his unforgiving crossover, and his unrelenting hustle. He won an MVP award, he carried a 76ers team to the Finals, he poured in over 24,000 points.

Yet, throughout those 14 years, controversy surrounded Iverson. The practice rant and not being willing to play as a bench player are well documented, but so were his financial difficulties, his legal troubles, and his inability to stick with a team after the 76ers, the team that drafted him in 1996, traded him in 2006.

Iverson, five years after he last played for an NBA team, will put everything on display when IVERSON, the documentary, premieres on SHOWTIME on Saturday, May 16 at 9 p.m. ET and PT. And as a precursor to the documentary, be sure to look for Zach Harper's Iverson feature on CBSSports.com on Friday.

During Iverson's interview with Gotlieb on Thursday, he revaled there was one aspect of his career that came close to being a regret.

"The closest thing, that I would say, to having a regret, is not letting Larry Brown coach me the way I did once I conformed to whatever he was trying to get through to me," Iverson said. "When I was fighting with him all the time, and 99.9 percent of the time it was my fault -- just being so young and not knowing."

From 1998-2003, Brown -- then the head coach of the 76ers -- and Iverson went at it. Without Larry Brown, there's no practice press conference. But without Larry Brown, there's probably no trip to the Finals in 2001. The two, despite constantly being at each other's throats, were successful on the hardwood.

And today, they still remain close, with Iverson paying a visit to Brown's current team, SMU, last year.

"You never miss something until it's gone," Iverson said of Brown. "And that's when it bothered me the most, because when he was gone, that's when I realized how much I really missed him and needed him."

But that's it. That's all Iverson regrets. And as he reflects on his career -- one that will eventually end up in the Hall of Fame -- as he grows older, he understands just how good he had it.

"If I died today," Iverson said. "And came back in the next lifetime, I'd rather be Allen Iverson."
