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.

Every time when they would call my name I kept hearing 'New York Knicks' instead of 'Seattle SuperSonics.

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.

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

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.

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