Without New York, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

My favorite player is Carmelo; that's just a guy I've been rocking with since he was at Syracuse. I've always been a big fan of Melo.

I knew I'm a hard worker and always wanted to be great at this game.

Change is very scary.

When teams are really out on me, I'm trying to drag them out as much as possible so my teammates can make plays.

Superstar - I mean, when I think of superstar, I think of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, names like that. I don't know if I can put myself in that category.

I definitely know a lot of guys that played in the league that came from the Bronx, but not a lot of them are a franchise all-time leading scorer. It's special, and I take pride in that.

I'm pretty sure anyone that goes home to play where they're from, it's exciting for them.

The Knicks are a special team.

I've been hearing it for years now, the Knicks. Every time I come home, it's, 'When are you coming home to the Knicks?'

What kid doesn't want to play in MSG? I've been fortunate enough to play there many, many times during my basketball career. Every chance I get to play there, I try to embrace it. I just love playing there.

There are definitely die-hard fans. That's one thing about people from Brooklyn: they're very loyal, die-hard, believe in their team.

I'm tired of not being in the playoffs... I hate watching them on TV.

I'm not a big traveler.

I put my work in throughout my career to become the player I am today. It's never about the money. I want to win.

I'm a loyal guy.

I guess it's a good thing to know that I am wanted.

I just wanna stay loyal to the people who are loyal to me.

I know teams are gameplanning against me, trying to not let me shoot pull-ups, basically trying to take me out of the game as much as they can.

What I'm trying to do is play the game the right way, not force shots up. Whenever I have my opportunities, take 'em.

My teammates trust me; they know I make the right plays. I'm not a selfish guy.

Marvin Williams is solid, and he can shoot, and he'll definitely stretch the defense.

When I get down, I can sense my teammates looking at me, and they can get down as well. That was something I had to learn over the years.

It's tough when you're a young player and sometimes things are not going your way.

I just have that extra boost in games. I don't know why.

Kids from New York usually don't stay in New York anymore: they go to prep schools and all sorts of stuff nowadays. I'm just happy to be one of the guys in our league from New York, to represent.

In the league, anything can happen. Once one team gets momentum, things can change really fast.

I feel like I'm dreaming. 10,000 points in the NBA. It's crazy.

It just feels good when I'm shooting.

I've played at MSG at basically every level of my career, starting from high school.

Without my parents, I would be nothing, so I'd like to thank them.

Connecticut is home for life. I'm so glad I chose to go to school here.

I think, from just playing street ball and stuff like that, I was always able to play up with the older guys, and I think that got me physically and mentally prepared to play on a high level of basketball.

I think I have what a New York City point guard is made of: toughness, a lot of heart, and the ability to be a leader.

I just want to win. My competitive nature just comes out in me.

The Dream Team was crazy. Probably one of the better teams, of course. That was a great team to watch and one of the reasons why I want to play for Team U.S.A.

On the off days, you have to come in and try to maintain your rhythm, just try to keep everything together. I sometimes come by myself, or some of my boys, get up a few shots, not too much, before or after practice. I always find time to get some shots up.

Making the tough shots and leaning in a certain way and a fadeaway and stuff like that, those are tough shots, but those are shots you have to learn to make in this league.

It definitely would be an honor to be an All-Star. But I have no say in it. It's not up to me. It's up to the fans and coaches.

I've pretty much adjusted to how teams play. Like when I draw two defenders, I want to make the best play possible.

Being in the league six years, things have kind of slowed down for me.

These NBA seasons are such a grind; it really takes a toll on your body.

I had a lot of doubt coming into my career about being an elite point guard in this league.

For me to become an All-Star for two straight years and now to become an All-Star starter, I most definitely proved the doubters wrong. It's an unbelievable moment in my career.

I'm not 6'3, 6'4, but I got a big heart, and that's it.

I would have never thought that I'd be an All-Star in this league, so to finally have my name called, it's really cool.

I just want to be a great player.

I'm a competitor at the end of the day.

Telling the public, 'We'll get to it later,' is inadequate. That's what the federal government does.

One of the challenges for lawyers can be explaining, first of all, what the legal issue is and, second, its significance. And both of those are important.
