My on-the-court game was ordinary. I had a jumper but needed screens. I could go right but not left.

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

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.

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.

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 would never scream at my kids, never raise my voice. But as they often tell me, they were so well behaved that screaming was not necessary.

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