Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.

I'm sure at some point I will get back into coaching, but right now I need to focus completely on my kids.

People think that just because you're a center, you're not as smart as the guards or the smaller guys.

Amare, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups - they're virtually unstoppable.

I think the people here in New York appreciated what I brought to the table, and they showed it when I retired by the way they came out and supported me, and it meant a lot to me. It made me feel like I am a part of this city, and I will remain a part of this city.

This means a lot. I'm being recognized for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into a 17-year career.

If I want to average 32 points a game, I can do that easily. It's just eight, eight, eight, eight. No problem. I can do that anytime. That's not being cocky. That's confidence.
