I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went from just a regular nappy-headed kid in poverty to Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks captain superstar. But there's a lot in between that allowed me to get from point A to point B.
I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.
If someone were to ask me before I made the NBA, you going to have to go through all this, you're going to have to sign your soul away to play in the league, I still would have done it.
I was a Knicks fan until the day I bought the Bulls.
My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball. Now it's time to please myself.
Everybody complaining about their average and all that, but I wanted be in there where I can help my team no matter what situation. And a lot of days, I didn't have it.
My favorite Knicks moment was when we beat Indiana in Game 7 to reach the NBA Finals. We worked so hard as a team to reach that moment that it was very satisfying to beat Indiana and reach the Finals.
Everybody in the NBA works on their game. I just tried to follow that lead when I was in high school, college - and now.
The Knicks left me open a lot of times the last time we played them, and I was just making sure I took the shots that were there.
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.
