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

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.

Winning a ring is everybody's goal, whether you're a player or a coach.

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

I've been to the Hall of Fame many times, in grade school and high school. I had field trips to the Hall of Fame and taking tours of it. I just never thought about that one day I possibly might be in it. I think it'd be great.

Pat Riley, Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld - they brought the Knicks back to the glory days. It started with Rick Pitino. We took our first step with him, making the playoffs. When Pat came in we just kicked the door open.

I'm just like any person who is coaching in this league, I'm just looking for an opportunity, that's all.
