More quotes by 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
My whole thing is, if you love me, then love me. If you don't, then believe what you hear and run with that.
Allen Iverson
How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?!
Allen Iverson
This is like a tribute to them, the people who helped me to get here. The thing that makes me feel good about the whole thing is, the fans voted me here.
Allen Iverson
Only the strong survive.
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 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
Believe me, I am not even that brave enough to miss that many practices.
Allen Iverson
Life is short. Im gonna be happy with mine.
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
If you're struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds-do anything on the court to help the team win.
Allen Iverson
We talkin' about practice?
Allen Iverson
I don't put pressure on myself. I just compete.
Allen Iverson
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
I've always said, just go ask my teammates if you want to know about me. Go ask the guys that I've played with. Don't ask or get information about me from people who are not in the locker room or not around me all of the time. Then you'll get legit answers.
Allen Iverson
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
Allen Iverson
I went through what I went through because God said go through it
Allen Iverson
I made a lot of mistakes, a lot of things I'm not proud of. But it's only for other people to learn from.
Allen Iverson
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
Allen Iverson
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.
Allen Iverson
