There's nothing that sells good about Allen Iverson if it's something positive about Allen Iverson.

Allen Iverson

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

Allen Iverson

I read some Marvel, but I was more of a DC guy. Particularly the Flash, Barry Allen. I latched on to him because I felt like him. You thought to yourself, 'Well, you can't really be Superman.' You couldn't really be Batman - Batman was a really dark figure. I identified with Barry Allen's hopefulness.

Greg Berlanti

You can't be Allen Iverson on a football team. And even Iverson got run out of Philadelphia when he was still a spectacular talent because the Sixers got tired of the headache and his bad attitude.

Jason Whitlock

I just thank God for Dennis [Rodman], cause he makes me look like a saint.

Charles Barkley

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

Pusha T

Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to the DPRK strange? In a word, yes.

Dennis Rodman

To be honest, I think NBA experience and years trumps everything else. It's unfortunate but when you come from somewhere else it's known that you don't have NBA experience and the NBA is so different to everywhere else so in that sense you need those years.

Patty Mills

Recording with Meek Mill for me was like when Allen Iverson played with Michael Jordan for the first time.

Karen Russell learned to think from her father, someone Peter Gammons knows well, Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, who used his prominence to support Martin Luther King Jr., to support the civil rights movement, and other important work, including work in Africa throughout his career. And Bill Russell is still at it.

Donald Trump

When somebody asks about the greatest players in history, I start with Bill Russell. More than the best player is the MVP, and the MVP in the history of team sports is Bill Russell.

Bobby Knight

In eighth grade, I was actually better in football. I played running back, wide receiver, and safety - just like Allen Iverson.

John Wall

The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained by the laws of logic or science. Dennis Rodman is only one example.

Dave Barry

Bill Russell is one of the great names in basketball, an all-American... and the only athlete to ever win an NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a professional championship all in the same year-1956...But Bill Russell had this one problem: He threw up before every game.
