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

Allen Iverson is, like, my all-time hero.

Man, I'm 31 years old and a husband with four kids; I hope I'm no thug. I hear all those negative things and don't hear anything positive. I think that's all those people feel... that way that's all they hear about when you hear Allen Iverson did something negative or something.

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.

When you win, everything is everything. But when you lose, it's all about Allen Iverson and Larry Brown. When we win, I know that I get the praise and Larry Brown gets the praise, but when we lose, it's on me and Larry Brown. That's something that I have to learn to accept and deal with.

I am always amazed at how many guys in the NBA have never met an owner much less ever been to an owner's house. We bought the team so that we would be able to be a positive force, so that they in turn would be a positive force to young people everywhere.

Tony Allen is a good defender, very smart.

Everybody in the NBA is good. And then you have the really good ones and the great ones.

In the NBA, you're never immune to rumors and trade rumors and free agency stuff.

The business always gets in the way of basketball.
