I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
Allen Iverson -
We aren't playing defense and we aren't rebounding the basketball. This has gotten off to a bad start, but we have to find a way to turn it around.

Personally I just want to win a championship.
Allen Iverson -
Looking back on everything that happened with me and coach, 99 percent of the time it was my fault. I see that now, definitely. ... Now that he's gone, you understand you lost a lot.
Allen Iverson -
It makes it that much easier for me, especially when he gets that attention on the post and people double him, and I get the entry pass. I get people running out at me, I can drive to the basket or hit that shot. And running the pick-and-roll, when guys try to take the ball out of my hands, all I do is make that one little pass at the free throw line. And when (Webber) is knocking it down, it?s tough for a team to stop us.

Man, I'm 31 years old and a husband with four kids; I hope I'm no thug. I hear all those negative things and don't hear anything positive. I think that's all those people feel... that way that's all they hear about when you hear Allen Iverson did something negative or something.
Allen Iverson -
Mistakes happen. But after a while you've got to stop making them happen twice.
Allen Iverson -
When you work hard, good things happen.

We had a real good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out be-cause it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team. I look at the stats and see that they still shot 50 percent and they almost scored 100 points and that's not something we want to give up. That's something we've got to look at as negative even though we got a win and try to improve on that.
Allen Iverson -
They are hungry and they needed to win desperately, so obviously they are going to bring energy and effort.
Allen Iverson -
I can't tell you anything that is going to make you feel like we are going to turn it around. All I can say is we are still alive and we still have a chance. And that is worth fighting for.
Allen Iverson -
I think that as far as talent, we have enough to get over the hump. We are just not doing it. You can?t coach it, you can?t preach it. It is just something that players must be willing to do.
Allen Iverson -
I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.
Allen Iverson -
I know I am healthy enough to go out there and not hurt my teammates.
Allen Iverson
-
I think that with this team, we honestly worry about other things besides team concepts.
Allen Iverson -
Every game is important for us. We didn't act like it tonight.
Allen Iverson -
His opinion is his opinion - and it's just that. I don't have anything negative to say about him, and I don't have anything negative to say about the situation.
Allen Iverson -
I just wanted to set a good example. I wanted to do things that I hadn't done before. My whole thing was to just try to be professional. I think when you work hard, good things happen, so obviously, because we're going to the Finals.
Allen Iverson -
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
Allen Iverson -
Just getting back into the game and making it a game is all heart. It feels bad, though, because we don't give that effort in the beginning and then we start showing the heart when we're about to get blown out. You have to play like that in the beginning and get stronger as the game goes on.

You know, I've always told him (Larry Brown) I wanted the relationship that Michael Jackson... Michael Jordan, I'm sorry. … I wanted the same relationship with him like Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan had.
Allen Iverson -
To fight like we fought the majority of the game and then for that to happen to us with 4.9 seconds on the clock is just devastating.
Allen Iverson -
Everything isn't starting out well, but you have to look at it like we can turn it around.
Allen Iverson -
Once they made one breakdown, they left me open, and I got a good look at it.
