I love you Philadelphia. I want to thank you for accepting me, and letting me be me and make this my home forever.
Allen Iverson
Image
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
Image
When I was a little kid I used to go on the playground and say: today I will shoot like Bird, pass like Magic, jump like Mike, be quick like Zeke. I am thankful to them, since without seeing them do things they did, I wouldn't be in the NBA.
Allen Iverson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I owe all of this to the guys I've played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I'm at right now. I'm honored to be here.
Allen Iverson
Image
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
Image
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.
Allen Iverson
Image
This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.
Allen Iverson
Image
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
Image
Basketball is a game of sacrificing yourself for the next guy, being a team that takes good shots, and taking the right shots
David Blatt
Image
We old athletes carry the disfigurements and markings of contests remembered only by us and no one else. Nothing is more lost than a forgotten game.
Pat Conroy
Image
A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Image
We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.
Rajon Rondo
Image
It wasn't until late high school and early college that I gained enough size and skill to make me welcome on intramural basketball teams.
Paul D. Boyer
Image
The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.
Shaquille O'Neal
Image
I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns.
Will McDonough
Image
Many Americans follow pro basketball from November through June, for reasons that I found unexplainable, other than the fact that they were overly fascinated with soaring armpits.
Dan Jenkins
Image
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Will Rogers
Image
One man cannot make a team.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Image
I have an incredible amount of basketball knowledge, and I think a lot of that is derived from having a Hall of Fame college basketball coach who was very knowledgeable of the game and I had a great high school coach who was also very knowledgeable.
Alonzo Mourning
Image
When we're playing a good scoring center, we tell our team that it is not our defensive man's job to stop the center. It's the responsibility of our perimeter people to stop the ball from going inside.
Bobby Knight
Image
I need to work with great directors and actors, people who are better than me, so that I am challenged. It is like playing sports - surfing, basketball, it doesn't matter what it is, if you play with people who are better than you, then you get better too. It is the same thing with acting.
