There are people in New York who feel I should have more of a hometown approach. I feel we have to be a mirror and reflect whats happening on the court.

I've always felt that I shouldn't scream on the air...I just feel there's a way of rising enthusiastically if there's an exciting play, but you don't have to scream. There are people who do shout, and I think that's unnecessary. You have to be under control at all times, no matter what's taking place. Enthusiasm and excitement can be expressed without going berserk.

I feel very fortunate that I'm doing what I wanted to do from the third grade on. I became very interested in the sports broadcasting aspect even at that early age. I'd turn down the sound on the TV and do games in my house - and probably get everybody looking for me to go into a room and lock the door so they didn't have to hear it.

It's impossible to work under conditions where they confused negativity with objectivity. You can't fool the fans.

My strong game was ping pong. Relentless... steady.

I was a Knicks fan of the Kenny Sears-Carl Braun-Jim Baechtold vintage. I was even their ball boy when I was a teenager.

Game calls cant be just, Oh, by the way, as part of a larger discussion.
