“I wasn’t afraid to be who I am. I didn’t think anything was wrong with it.”

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.

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.
