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.

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.

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

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.

Brooklyn, it's a great town, a great city. It's New York.
