Without a doubt, any opportunity I have to build that up in New York, I'd do it. I told people all the time, always say, 'If it takes me taking a pay cut, I'll be the first one on Mr. Dolan's steps saying take my money and let's build something strong over here.'
The NBAs a Fortune 500 company. Thats how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you dont see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.
I want to win. I don't care about the money,
I'm not at the point in my career where I want to rebuild.
You just got ta believe, i have never been a quitter in my life or in my career.
The fans are dying. We're dying.
I just don't want to get used to feeling this feeling, you know, losing basketball games.
What I do will be straight up. Management knows that.
You make your own party.
When I was young, I was sold on winning. I was always serious on the court. As I got older, I realized that it was just a basketball game. Just go out there and have fun.
Family time is the best time.
People tend to grow fearful, when they taste failure, face a daunting challenge or fall ill. Yet, that is precisely the time to become even bolder. Those who are victors at heart are the greatest of all champions!!!!
I think I'm the most underrated superstar that's out there, but that doesn't matter to me.
As a good player in the inner city, you're always hearing people saying that you're better than you really are and that you don't have to do things like everybody else.
