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

When I played with the Knicks, I was just as important or just as smart as any other of the guards I played with. I still had to call out plays, notice schemes, know the systems, do everything they had to do.

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.

Getting the degree meant more to me than an NCAA title, being named All-American or winning an Olympic gold medal.

I positively, positively, positively want to play. I've got everything else so why not a gold medal? I want to play.

The greatest players fit with the team. They play within the team's style, rather than asking the team to change its style.

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