“I think a lot of times, when people who get a chance to meet me and be around me, they understand that I’m not the person that the media make me out to be.”

When you lose, there is a whole bunch of room for negativity and I don’t feed into this stuff and I do not do any talking. I don’t run my mouth.

You think I can be the MVP without practicing?

You can hide from the devil, but he’ll always find you.

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.

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.

Second chances, are filled with humans hoping for a third.

One chance is all you need.

Although I’ve played a wide variety of roles, I’ve never had the chance to act in a story written specially for me. It’s a pity as they are the only stories that really let you reveal your personality.

When you work to please others you can’t succeed, but the things you do to satisfy yourself stand a chance of catching someone’s interest.

Tomorrow is always another day to make things right.

Women, you overheated dipsomaniacs, never passing up a chance to wangle a drink, a great boon to bartenders but a bane to us–not to mention our crockery and our woolens!

Everyday is another chance to get things right.

Chances rule men and not men chances.
