We're going to need team efforts and we need each other down the stretch.

I didn't know I had this many fans in Puerto Rico. I'm going to carry this memory to my grave.
Allen Iverson -
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.
Allen Iverson -
Once you get away and come back, you're ready to go. But knowing it's a fresh start, like a new season; we're taking it one game at a time.
Allen Iverson -
Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I've done in my career.
Allen Iverson -
You have to be a strong teammate when you're playing with me. And I have to be strong myself because of the controversy, just putting me against my team one second, and then putting my team against me the next second.
Allen Iverson -
The basket looked like an ocean, and I was just throwing rocks in.
Allen Iverson

We just believed in each other, got defensive stops when we needed them and executed our offense. We were able to make something happen.
Allen Iverson -
We've just got to understand that (tonight) is a different day and we've got to perform better than we did (Wednesday) night.
Allen Iverson -
I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.
Allen Iverson -
We're trying to get better, and we're not where we want to be -- but we've progressed. If we stay consistent on defense, we'll be fine. We'll get the easy baskets and then won't have rely on jumpers.
Allen Iverson -
For that to happen with 4.9 seconds left, it's devastating.
Allen Iverson -
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.

You play 82 games, and it's unheard of that you win every game, but this is one we should have had.
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 -
I guess it's just having time to play with each other and learning each other, just finding out how he wants to play and vice versa. He told me coming into the season that he wasn't doing his job if I didn't average four or five more points than I had been, and he was right because I am. ... We work together. We find out what plays we want to run. When we call plays for him, he tells me things he can do to get me an easy basket. And when a play is called for me, I let him know, if they take certain things away from me, what I can get for him. So it's just having some chemistry, being together and having a coach that understands that both of us need the ball and understands how both of us want to play.

I was the bridge between the Michael Jordan era and LeBron James era.
Allen Iverson -
We knew we were going to be short-handed, being that Chris wasn't playing, and other guys stepped up and played big for us.
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.

John is going to feel bad because of the situation. Probably he will react to something not that serious because of the situation.
Allen Iverson -
This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.
Allen Iverson -
I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.
Allen Iverson -
We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league.
