I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot. Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight.
Iverson: Man look, I hear you... it's funny to me too, I mean it's strange... it's strange to me too, but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game... the actual game, when it matters... We're talking about practice ...
Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I've done in my career.
A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot
Practice? I mean, listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game. Not the game. We're talkin about practice, man. We're talkin about practice. We're taklin about practice, man. What are we talkin about? Practice. We're talkin about practice, man.
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.
We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
We just needed it, period. Just for our sake, not as far as what everyone else is talking about. Just as competitors we just needed a game. We're struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this one would have been really bad, because we played really well defensively.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They did everything right and we did nothing right.
We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. They execute their plays to the fullest and get the best shot possible.
When I struggle the way I did tonight, as a team we are obviously going to struggle.
We score with the best of them. If we concentrate on defense like we do on offense, then we'll win a lot more ballgames.
The sky's the limit for him, ... He's a tough guard. He's got the best coach in the world on his side.
