I love my fans in Philadelphia, but this is the hardest place in the world to play in. And I think it's the hardest place to play in to be a superstar. Just to be the No. 1 guy. All eyes on you - because everybody wants you to be perfect, but not themselves.
Allen Iverson
I don't care. I feel like if we don't make a trade, we have to get it done with what we've got.
Allen Iverson
If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to mean. I'm fortunate I'm blessed to be in the situation that I'm in right now.
