I didn't know I had this many fans in Puerto Rico. I'm going to carry this memory to my grave.

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.

-
I could have played 48 minutes. I have never had problems with my conditioning before. For a coach to say that he thinks my conditioning isn't there, that was something new for me. Because nobody never told me that, nobody questioned my conditioning or injuries or anything like that.

When we rebound the ball, we're able to do that. We don't want to come down and play a half-court game all the time.
Allen Iverson
-
I want to play. Obviously we didn't get it done the first time I was a part of that team. If God blesses me with another opportunity to try it, it would be an honor. I would have a second shot at fulfilling one of my goals.

I had my popcorn just like probably everybody else. I was watching, and I was calling people up on the phone to make sure they were watching it. It's like, when you see a game like that, you're so much a fan ...
Allen Iverson
-
Believe me, I am not even that brave enough to miss that many practices.
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.

People think that I'm some tough renegade, black-hearted being, evil, but that ain't me.

I don't put pressure on myself. I just compete.

You have to go through good times and bad times to get where you're trying to go.

It?s going to be a tough week because it?s going to be a playoff atmosphere. It?s important for us to try to win one game at a time and just concentrate on that. Whatever opponent we have to play, just worry about those guys. And then worry about whatever happens after that.
Allen Iverson
-
We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
Allen Iverson
-
I want to win a ring. I want to have an opportunity to get back to the Finals, but I just have to take it one day at a time, and understand that it can happen -- and I always believe it. Once I stop believing the goal can be accomplished, there is no need to keep dressing up every night. All that matters is us getting into the playoffs, because then, anything can happen.
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.

I see kids today trying to do the things I did, and it makes me feel like I've come a long way.
Allen Iverson
-
We couldn't stop them. We got beat in every aspect of the game.
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 told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot. Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight.
Allen Iverson
-
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.
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
-
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
Allen Iverson
-
We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league.
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.
