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

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.

Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.

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

We might make a lot of money but, we also spend a lot of money.

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

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.
