“A negative Allen Iverson story is the greatest Allen Iverson story, for some reason.”

I used to say my biggest accomplishment was just getting drafted, whether it was the first pick or the 100th or whatever.

I don’t feel no type of way. I just understand that He helped me accomplish a lot of things in the NBA. I’ve done so many things that people thought that I couldn’t do.

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.

My mom always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be. And I truly, actually believed it. And I fought.

I have no regrets on anything. People ask me all the time, ‘Do I have any regrets?’ I don’t have any. If I could back and do it all over, would I change anything? No.

There’s nothing that sells good about Allen Iverson if it’s something positive about Allen Iverson.

I made a lot of mistakes. And obviously, it cost me.

I just want kids all over the world to know you have to practice to be any good in this game; it’s too hard.

That’s the only thing that got me here is my teammates. My teammates and my coach. That’s the only reason I’m here.

Detroit was a bad situation for me.

I didn’t do this by myself, man. It was so many people, so many fans that came in there and cheered for me, night in and night out.

You hit road blocks in life, but I’m living proof that you can overcome those road blocks and become what you want to become.

I’m not going to be the same as I was when I’ve made so many bad mistakes.

I had to learn that some people are just not going to like you. I had to have thick skin when I would see what people would say or write about me.

I owe all of this to the guys I’ve played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I’m at right now. I’m honored to be here.

I went from the projects to a real house. It was a big difference.
