The words have never been a problem for Allen Iverson. He has always been able to come up with the right words, and there's little doubt that, at the time, he has always meant them.

The words were there again last evening when he came back to the 76ers after three years in the wilderness. He didn't need a script, and the words that came from his heart were perfect for the occasion and, as always, he meant them at the moment they were delivered.
