As a kid I couldn't afford any Jordans, so I didn't get my first pair until my last year of high school. They were Air Jordan 9s.

I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.

When you've never had something, you want it worse than anything.

I'm not at the point in my career where I want to rebuild.

How can U fairly assess someone from the outside looking in ... majority of the times you will be wrong.

I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams. Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and I am surrounded by the greatest fans in the world.

The fans are dying. We're dying.
