I'm just like any person who is coaching in this league, I'm just looking for an opportunity, that's all.

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.

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.

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

I think the people here in New York appreciated what I brought to the table, and they showed it when I retired by the way they came out and supported me, and it meant a lot to me. It made me feel like I am a part of this city, and I will remain a part of this city.

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