I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.

I think everybody has their own unique style.

When I really like something, I try to put my all into it. This is something thats different from when I was growing up on the basketball court, running up and down, scoring 30 points or something. This is totally something different.

The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.

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.

I don't want to just be an athlete. I kind of obsess on that sometimes. I don't want my son to be reading, oh, 'disappointment, just a scorer, selfish, didn't win enough, never quite the best' -- whatever. I want to be bigger than that. I want to shape my own destiny instead of just having him read about whatever on the back page.

Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.
