If you’re struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds-do anything on the court to help the team win.
I thought we’d be discussing about me not leaving Philadelphia and they just kept asking me about the practice, so I lost it.
In 2001 we didn’t have all the talent in the world, we just had me on offense and just a bunch of tough ass dudes, and a great coach in Larry Brown.
I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
I remember playing in a tournament when at home we didn’t have light, because my mom spent her last money on my sneakers.
I didn’t know I had this many fans in Puerto Rico. I’m going to carry this memory to my grave.
People try to start things with me because of who I am, and I know that means I have to stay away. Its definitely racial.
Life is short. I’m gonna be happy with mine.
I don’t put pressure on myself. I just compete.
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
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.
If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to mean. I’m fortunate; I’m blessed to be in the situation that I’m in right now.
When you get to that level, it’s not a matter of talent anymore – because all the players are so talented – it’s about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions. 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.
I went through what I went through because God said go through it.
I would rather win than have good sportsmanship.
The basket looked like an ocean, and I was just throwing rocks in.
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 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.
How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?!
When you work hard, good things happen.
This is the thing you dream about when you’re a kid, even before getting into the league.
