When you win 20 games in a row and then lose four, people ask you, 'What happened?'...That's the beauty of sports.

Experience is everything. It means so much because it enabled me to learn the game even faster. Playing in the playoffs is the best basketball in the world, and if you can learn under that pressure, succeed under that pressure, it gives you more confidence the next year.

I love being under pressure. Even the pressure put on me by the media. That is how you outdo yourself.

When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second -round team. Boston and Orlando never drafted me because they said I was too skinny and no European point guard will make it in the League.

If Tim Duncan had Knicks on his jersey, he'd be a god.

If we go to the conference finals and people say we had a bad season, I'll take that.

When I first came in the league, a lot of people were surprised by my knowledge about the history of the game.
