“This was a dream for me, ever since coach [Larry] Brown left. I wanted Maurice Cheeks to be the coach and now it's finally here. It's just different for me. I feel like in the 10 years that I've been playing, the atmosphere should have always been like it is. I should have always wanted to come to work every day and not play hard or go after people because I was upset about something.”
Allen Iverson
“The natural habitat of the tongue is the left cheek.”

“Coach (Maurice) Cheeks talked about it when he first came, that I had to step it up each game, and I think I have stepped my game up this year from last year, but I think there's a lot more I can do as well.”
Andre Iguodala
“I think Leon told Mo (76ers coach Maurice Cheeks) that they weren't inviting me.”
“[Cheeks] blew me away with the way he wants to coach here. I think we're going to have one of the best frontcourts in the Eastern Conference.”
Steven Hunter
“Fie, fie upon her!There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip,Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look outAt every joint and motive of her body.”
William Shakespeare
“Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, And with a green and yellow melancholy She sat like patience on a monument, Smiling at grief”
