I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.

People say I eat a lot. I really don't. More or less I just eat all the time.

You know what I always say about basketball whenever anybody tried to tell me the Knicks are gonna be good: They're old. Old people don't get healthy. They die.

Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.

If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?

I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.

If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
