"I wanna thank Biggie Smalls, Redman, Jadakiss, Tupac and Michael Jackson for being my theme music throughout my career," said Iverson. He also thanked former coach Larry Brown for molding him into a great player, "I was an alright basketball player. But once I started to listen to Larry Brown and take constructive criticism..I learned how much of a great, great coach that he is. Once I started to listen to him the way I was supposed to and was coached by him, that's when I became an MVP."
