I kind of knew Cleveland was going to get the No. 1 pick. I think they rigged it. No, don't quote me on that.

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

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

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.

Without a doubt, any opportunity I have to build that up in New York, I'd do it. I told people all the time, always say, 'If it takes me taking a pay cut, I'll be the first one on James Dolan's steps saying take my money and let's build something strong over here.'

Any decision I make is the biggest decision of my life.
