You think I can be the MVP without practicing?
From Allen Iverson
I dressed like the guys who I grew up with. I looked like the guys I grew up with.
It was a great experience for me - the ups and downs - because I became a man in Philadelphia.
Any one of my shoes that I had, you knew that, night in, night out, I gave my teammates and my fans everything that I had.
I want to thank coach Thompson... for saving my life. For giving me the opportunity.
I was recruited by every school in the country for football and basketball. And an incident happened in high school, and all that was taken away. No other teams, no other schools were recruiting me anymore.
My mom always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be. And I truly, actually believed it. And I fought.
If I could take back all the mistakes that I made throughout my career, I would have had a perfect career. I would have missed no shots. I would have made no turnovers. I would have went right instead of going left when I was supposed to, every game.
I can't take it back. I can't take anything back. So I don't regret it.
It was a blessing just to play one NBA basketball game.
