Leadership is something I was born with.
I know I’m not a selfish player. People around me know I’m not a selfish player. I do everything I can to make people around me understand I’m not a selfish player.
I’m really into fashion.
I told my mom I would graduate. I owe that much to her and myself.
This was on my vision board. To run out there and be hitting game winners, getting the fans riled up. When they’re stomping on the floor yelling ‘New York Knicks’ – that’s a great feeling.
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.’
What I do will be straight up. Management knows that.
It’s too late for me to get married before I’m famous. You never know people’s intentions.
I’ve been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
Any decision I make is the biggest decision of my life.
Always stay true to yourself. Some people will like it, some people won’t. Life goes on.
No one is perfect. I know there is stuff that I need to work on, and not just one thing, but my game overall. Everything can get better.
You make your own party.
I’m me. I’m just out there being myself. I like having fun. But at the same time, I bring everybody together. So I’m really – or I try to be – like the glue of the team.
People only know what they see on TV.
Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don’t think anything can top that.
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!!!!
Man, I’m not trying to be important; I just go out and play.
