Allen Iverson

This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.

It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on.

You look at guys on the court, man. You got this guy with this brand of shoe, and this guy with this brand - they're just wearing the shoe. But it's a whole different feeling when you got a shoe on, and it's yours.

Coming into the league, if I would've had money, then obviously I would've had more tattoos.

I make all that money and it ain't enough. I gotta make more to help all the people around me.

Don't nobody wanna talk about or hear about somebody donating money to a charity. You wanna hear about what Bin Laden is doing and what you think is on his mind.

I don't have any problems with what these guys wear because they got their own style and their own originality. That's the way it's supposed to be, man.

You don't want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don't want to hear about that.

You used to think the suspect was the guy with the cornrows; now you see the police officers with the cornrows.

I didn't take constructive criticism the way I should have. When I finally caught up to that, that's when I went to being the MVP.

My whole thing was being wanted and being accepted by a ball club. That was the most important thing to me.

Guys is supposed to be able to be original and dress like how they want to dress. The NBA can't dress no grown man.
