I just wanted to set a good example. I wanted to do things that I hadn't done before. My whole thing was to just try to be professional. I think when you work hard, good things happen, so obviously, because we're going to the Finals.

More quotes by Allen Iverson
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.

It's unfair because the people booing, I believe, wouldn't want to have their child booed. Fans don't understand our lives and what we go through. They don't look at us as humans. We love the fans because they support and love the game, but at the same time it hurts when they turn their back on us.
Allen Iverson
Being an All-Star is everything.
Allen Iverson
I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.
Allen Iverson
You know, I've always told him (Larry Brown) I wanted the relationship that Michael Jackson... Michael Jordan, I'm sorry. ... I wanted the same relationship with him like Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan had.

I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.
Allen Iverson
I never took the game for granted as far as not having to work on what I needed to do to accomplish all of the things that I wanted to accomplish.
Allen Iverson
If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.
