“It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on.”
“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.”
“You gotta do what you gotta do. And I had to figure that out, and I used to - I couldn't stand the media, but I realized they have a job. They gotta do what they have to do.”
“What makes me feel good is all of the people that rooted for A.I. get a chance to say, 'He did what you never thought he could do. The critics. He did what you never thought he could accomplish.' This is a moment that me and my fans and my family and friends can share together because we always believed in the dream.”
“Personally I just want to win a championship.”
“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.”
“I got a lot of love for NBC, Tom Brokaw. He did a lot for me, and I appreciate him, and I owe a lot to him for that.”

“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 wish there was a season where I was playing and didn't have no aches, no pains, no bruises, no nothing.”
“When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.”
“It was a blessing just to play one NBA basketball game.”
“If I'm not getting older and more mature at 31, then something's wrong.”
“You look at guys on the court, man. You got this guy with this brand of shoe, and this guy with this brand - they're just wearing the shoe. But it's a whole different feeling when you got a shoe on, and it's yours.”
“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.”
