I don't play mind games.

My thing was I had attitude every night. No matter who I played, who I went against, what team, you've got to have an attitude.

Some guys get by on natural athletic ability. And then when they reach a certain point, they got to put in the time before and after practice and in the off-season.

Knicks fans are the smartest in the world and they know you can't just play one end of the court.

Your offense might not be great every game, but defense is just about working hard and outworking your opponents.

You can't just score more points than last year without playing defense.

If you a real true guy you don't talk about a guy after he is deceased.

I've got too much heart and pride for the game.

I'm not a high jumper, but you don't see guys intimidating me or posting me up.

A lot of guys do the pretty things. Dunking, tattoos, earrings, sagging jeans. That's the league now. They have athletic ability, but they don't know the game.

I'm not the kind of guy you threaten.

Coming from the inner city of Cleveland and growing up you never expected a street to be named after you or anything. It's a special honor.

When you play 40 minutes a game, you're going to average a lot of rebounds.

Just because there's glass on the road don't mean there's been an accident.

You can't say, 'You're a scorer, you score. You rebound, you rebound.' Basketball is more than that. Basketball is knowing the next step, knowing the next play, knowing how to make things happen.

There's always someone who wants to make you look bad.

David Stern is the mastermind behind a lot of stuff, he controls a lot of stuff, he dictates a lot of stuff so he's going to make himself look good.

I shoot five or six times, go out and play defense and make sure everything is clicking. I'm like a transmission in a car. You can't see me, but I make the car go.

I'm not a troublemaker. People say, 'You got into a lot of incidents.' Yeah, but it was on the basketball floor.

I want to do what's best for the team, always.

I'm like a toll booth. Sooner or later, you have to come to me.

I'm all about having a good time and respecting my teammates.

I don't have any specialties. Anything I cook, I just make it special.

When I first got into this league, I knew a lot. But I made myself better by listening and working hard.
