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.

Always stay true to yourself. Some people will like it, some people won't. Life goes on.

You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.

I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.

I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.

If I were president? First thing I'd do is take care of the schoolteachers. I'm not saying we should start 'em out with six figures, but in some places they've got to be mother, father, brother, sister, and mentor. They're real important people. Let's give 'em a raise - and attract the best people to the job.

I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.
