I'm all for players extending their careers, and I'm all for trying to be as healthy as possible for the playoff run.

With my tattoos, I've got my war side on my left side, being left handed, and a faith side on my right side, right with God.

I just really felt I had to help the community I came from. I know how hard it is to make it out of here.

All my friends and family have seen Patrick Ewing's TV at my house.

Countdown' is family television.

One of my favorite Finals was actually Detroit vs. Los Angeles, because it was home and home for me, personally. It was like my childhood home and my second home.

Coach Fisher, I know what he's accomplished and who he is. He's a great man with a great family, and the Hall of Fame is something he's earned. It's something he deserves.

The quality of your public education shouldn't be defined by your zip code.

Schools should be open. If it's a public education, and the school in your district is poor-performing, you should be able to put your student or kid wherever you want.

Nothing substitutes for a great education.

I was a member of the Fab Five at the University of Michigan, but I was also on the Dean's List there. I took pride in my education.

Most of the time, before you get traded, there are rumblings. I wasn't totally surprised that I was going to get traded - I anticipated it happening. And I wasn't surprised that I got traded to the Knicks, either.
