Over there, Kevin McHale, I feel like I'm talking to someone I know. It's just a total different atmosphere.

I think it was one of the better meetings that I've had with those guys, because I was honestly able to say everything I wanted to say, and I pretty much aired out the dirty laundry. So from that point on, I thought all of that was behind us.

I'm 33 years old now. I really want that ring. I got a taste of it here.

So much tension around here in New York. They want to fine you for every little thing you do.

Well I forgot how different it was because I've been here for about four or five years. It's a big load off my shoulders now. Now that I'm there, I'm like, man, I can breathe a little bit, you know?

Fortunately for me I was able to do well here, and it really did great things for my career and now hopefully I can go out there and continue to do what I did.
