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

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.

Everybody keeps telling me how surprised they are with what I've done. But I'm telling you honestly that it doesn't surprise me. I knew I could do it.

I never knew what basketball was. I started playing on the playground. People used to laugh at me and joke at me because I was so tall and I didn't know the game and couldn't play it.

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.

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

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