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.
From Patrick Ewing
Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.
When I played with the Knicks, I was just as important or just as smart as any other of the guards I played with. I still had to call out plays, notice schemes, know the systems, do everything they had to do.
Too much negotiating and not enough work on the court - that's what happened to me during the lockout. Too much talking and not enough training. I couldn't put in my usual offseason work routine. I think that all caught up to me, with my Achilles problems.
People think that just because you're a center, you're not as smart as the guards or the smaller guys.
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.
Every time when they would call my name I kept hearing 'New York Knicks' instead of 'Seattle SuperSonics.'
Amare, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups - they're virtually unstoppable.
Brooklyn, it's a great town, a great city. It's New York.
I'm sure at some point I will get back into coaching, but right now I need to focus completely on my kids.
