“God gave me all this; why waste the talent that he gave me? Why not go full throttle with it all and try to become in the class with the greatest players that ever played the game? That’s just a great feeling.”

My whole thing was being wanted and being accepted by a ball club. That was the most important thing to me.

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.

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.

I wasn’t a point guard. I was a killer.

So many people supported me and believed in me. They made it so easy for me to believe in myself, because I didn’t want to let them down.

Either you give in, or you fight. That’s all I know, being where I’m from. You fight for what you want. You go after what you want. The only thing I could do was give up or keep fighting for what I wanted in life.

I failed, got back up. I failed, got back up.

It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on.

It was a great experience for me – the ups and downs – because I became a man in Philadelphia.

We should because when coaches get fired, the players have a lot to do with it.

I dressed like the guys who I grew up with. I looked like the guys I grew up with.

He’s helped me do so much in my career, helped me be the player that I am. If there’s no Larry Brown, then there’s no MVP, Allen Iverson.

Obviously, if I could go back and change anything, I would be a perfect man. And I know there’s no perfect man.

Personally I just want to win a championship.

At some point, it comes to an end regardless, however it comes, whether it is retirement or injury; at some point, it comes to an end.
