Allen Iverson

I'm just a regular 24/7 dad now.

I wasn't a fan of the Sixers. My dad was a big Mo Cheeks fan, and he wanted me to be drafted by the Sixers. My thing was, if that could make my dad happy, then that would make me happy, you know what I mean?

That's the only thing that got me here is my teammates. My teammates and my coach. That's the only reason I'm here.

I wasn't afraid to be who I am. I didn't think anything was wrong with it.

You think I can be the MVP without practicing?

I am sick of defending myself, and I am not going to keep on doing it.

I may not know everything about physical talent or anything like that, but I have a sharp mind when it comes to that look: being able to look into somebody's eyes to tell if they are going to be in the foxhole with you tonight, or if they are not.

We should because when coaches get fired, the players have a lot to do with it.

I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.

Being an All-Star is everything.

My actions, right or wrong, there were people who supported me through this long, hard journey.

That's where I'll get the love in my heart: from, the fact that little young guys can look at the obstacles that I had to go through to become a Hall of Famer and know it's not so bad when it comes to them trying to accomplish the same goal.
