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.

Winning a ring is everybody's goal, whether you're a player or a coach.

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

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

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

I'm satisfied with the way I play, but I don't evaluate my performances. I worry about what I can contribute defensively. I don't need to score. As long as we win, I don't care how many points I score.

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