For everyday diners in Manhattan, cracking the waiting list at Nobu is said to be harder than getting courtside tickets for the Knicks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just want to get on the court.
I think the media makes it tough to play in New York. There are so many papers and TV channels covering the Knicks and the expectations for the Knicks are so high.
There are people in New York who feel I should have more of a hometown approach. I feel we have to be a mirror and reflect what's happening on the court.
It seemed to me that I had barely reached the Court when people were trying to get me off.
Jay-Z has kind of shown that you can get to the very top without waiting, without following rules. In fact, it's better if you don't. People will admire you more if you break the rules.

If you work in a public space, you have to be aware that no one is buying a ticket.
It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
Don't bother starting the 10,000th restaurant in Manhattan. Find something to do that if you don't do it, it won't get done.
It's hard to get concert tickets.
