I'm not gonna lie, I'm a huge Patriots fan, so I like Tom Brady.

As a player you want to be on the big stage.

I'm so overwhelmed, humbled and just honored the Knicks took the chance with me.

I feel I can connect with anybody. I'm definitely a personality.

I call New York just a bigger version of Toronto.

I'm never going to stop believing in myself.

Winning a championship, really - that's the main goal, so if you don't do that then you can't really say that you succeeded.

I feel like the Knicks drafted me because they knew what I could do.

I don't care whether I'm in the spotlight, not in the spotlight. That's not gonna stop me from doing anything.

I used to come home crying at the beginning, 'cause I was playing against high-school guys, college guys, and I was like in the sixth grade, so it was tough.

Obviously, you want to do well. As a competitor you don't like not doing well.

I embrace New York.

Who doesn't think that they're the best? I've put in the work and time just like everybody else. So, yes, I do believe I'm the best player.

Really I can do everything on the court: pass, shoot, dribble, score.

I love playing in the Garden. My dad used to tell me stories about playing here. So to see that crowd, it's crazy.

I've always wanted to make it to the NBA and be on a team, so whatever team drafts me I'm going to be happy with.

I am a big 'try new things' kind of guy.

For me, I'm more reserved and focused once I get to the game.

I'll laugh at anything.

Everybody's doing well and everybody's achieving their goals so it's great to see Canadian basketball on the rise.

My mom grew up in Brooklyn.

I do regular kid stuff like play video games.

Everybody kind of feels something for where they grew up, where they came from.

New York, playing in the Garden, I've always been a player who likes to play with a lot of people watching.

To be the top guy throughout my life and my career, to have people coming at me every game, giving me their best shot - that's part of the reason I went to Duke. I love that stuff.

It's funny because I feel like growing up in Europe and having these different experiences, I feel like I can talk to anybody. I'm always comfortable in every situation that I go in, and that helps me on the court.

I never feel out of place. I'm never nervous or worried.

I actually like dribbling with my right more - which is weird.

The structural changes of globalization and automation that has created concentrated wealth among some people who have had the right skills and the right opportunities has also created extraordinary disruption and havoc among the American middle-class.

For decades, I have watched neoconservatives paint those who oppose their interventionism as appeasers of dictators standing in solidarity with socialists, soft on Russia, naive about terrorism, lacking moral clarity and unappreciative of America's unique role in the world.

If we can figure out how to give more Americans a shot in tech, a shot at the ordinary jobs that don't necessarily afford rock star status or come with generous stock options but that can sustain middle-class life, then we might just take a step toward stitching our nation back together.

As a child growing up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, my connection to my Indian roots came from summer visits to New Delhi where my grandparents lived.

We know that almost all Americans are avid consumers of technology, but many lack the opportunity to do the creative work that fuels our digital economy.

We need to have a clear moral vision for both our foreign policy, and economic policy and policy on racial justice.

As a lawyer, I can assure you that a lot of document drafting is repetitive, involving cutting and pasting from templates. But the best lawyers bring a unique perspective to the process and anticipate clients' problems.

I'm obviously in favor of a carbon tax. And I think climate change is one of the biggest threats to our planet.

My travels around the country have led me to believe that many communities want this diversity of opportunity. They're proud of the traditional industries, whether it's coal or steel, or of course doing military service, but they want their kids to have opportunities beyond that.

The 21st-century mix of jobs is probably going to be different than the 20th-century mix.

More than stock prices or product launches, Silicon Valley's legacy will be defined by whether tech leaders step up to contribute to the larger American experiment.

Let us focus on developing our capabilities and talents here at home to be a model for the world.

Our troops shouldn't be mired in taking land for the Afghan military, providing force protection and fighting a permanent insurgency.

The digital revolution is one that every community should and can participate in.

The Internet and virtual reality make it easier for people to stay rooted in their communities and work for companies headquartered elsewhere. The Internet has also created countless small businesses, triggering the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

One key question for the United States in the 21st century is whether noncoastal towns and rural communities, including many communities of color, will be able to participate in the digital revolution.

We've been living with this myth that somehow government investment in research has not been critical to economic growth.

The Internet belongs to all of us, not big telecom.

I think we need to have stronger antitrust enforcement.

I think automation will eliminate certain types of jobs - lower income, lower-skilled jobs in manufacturing. But nobody knows whether it's going to change the job basket of the 21st century, or be net positive, or net negative.

An Internet service provider reasonably needs to know your name and address. But it's hard to imagine why a provider would need to collect your Internet browsing habits other than to sell your data.

No doubt, every job has repetitive aspects.
