"I'm not a reserve basketball player," Iverson said. "I've never been a reserve all my life and I'm not going to start looking at myself as a reserve. That's something for the media to talk about. It's only a big issue when the media talks about it. The subject never came up in my career until everything happened in
"In all the other years of my career, it's never come up. I've been a starter on All-Star teams, Olympic teams and NBA Finals teams. It's just a big deal now. I think it is something people should let go. To answer your question, no, I'm not a bench player or the sixth man. Go look at my resume, it will show you that I'm not a sixth man."

His famous "you talkin about practice?" line echoes. And every time I hear it I think of Michael Jordan taking practice so seriously he punched Steve Kerr in the face.
Rings: Michael Jordan-6, Allen Iverson-0
Yeah, I'm talking about practice.
Rings = much practice, and the right situation.
AI = not wanting to practice and making any place he is a bad situation.
Iverson single handedly got the 76ers to the Championship several years ago. but he is just another small baller these days. Dime a dozen.
