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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
