More quotes by Allen Iverson
I remember playing in a tournament when at home we didn't have light, because my mom spent her last money on my sneakers.
Allen Iverson
One of the things you have to learn is that you don't have to have the ball all the time to be effective.
Allen Iverson
There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs I've been to the playoffs before.
Allen Iverson
I always wanted to be a Sixer. My dad was a Sixers' fan. I never wanted to leave. I wanted to start my career in Philly and finish it here.
Allen Iverson
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
Allen Iverson
I've been in Philadelphia 10 years, man. I knew it was going to be a challenge, mentally. I always thought life would come to an end if I ever left Philadelphia. And I feel like a newborn. Being in Denver it's just a better situation for me. And I'm just happy that I feel like I got an opportunity where I can win basketball games here.
Allen Iverson
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
Allen Iverson
I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed.
Allen Iverson
When you lose, there is a whole bunch of room for negativity and I don't feed into this stuff and I do not do any talking. I don't run my mouth.
Allen Iverson
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 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
My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things.
Allen Iverson
I dont want to be a point guard, or a two-guard, I want people to think of me as creative, I just want to create on the court.
Allen Iverson
I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.
Allen Iverson
When you get to that level, it's not a matter of talent anymore - because all the players are so talented - it's about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions. 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.
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
I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.
Allen Iverson
We talkin' bout practice?
Allen Iverson
I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.
Allen Iverson
Life is short. Im gonna be happy with mine.
