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

Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don't think anything can top that.

We're still getting better as a team. We're still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games.

Play hard, learn as much as I can and do what I do best. The rest will take care of itself I think.

I want to retire in New York, let's be quite frank. I think a lot of people jumped the gun when I said I wanted to be a free agent. And yeah, I want people to come to play in New York. I want them to want to play in New York. I want New York to be that place where guys want to come play.

I believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong.

I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
