Hey, I'm just another guy coming out of JC. That's the way I think of myself.

JC was good for me. I had a coach who kept me into things and thinking positive. It was good basketball, but more than that it prepared me for the academic scene at a university.

I love to drive and run the floor.

You can't ever get to the point where you don't think you can learn anything more.

Vegas is my town, my people.

Coach Tarkanian is a fighter.

I'm an Oakley fan.

I don't know nothing about the restaurant business, but I've been around a barber shop all my life. That's where I used to get my dates in high school.

The key for me is the way I take care of myself off the floor.

In Dallas, I eat bean soup and bean pies every day. On Saturdays, I treat myself to a veggie pizza.

For me to lose weight or maintain my weight is all about my diet, because I can come here and work two-and-a-half hours twice a day and if I get off my diet and eat like I normally eat, which is bad, I will gain weight.

Most people lose weight during the season, but I tend to gain weight during the season.

I just have to keep working, just stay on top of my game, stay on top of my weight and stay prayed up.

After I signed my big contract, I expected to be in Charlotte for the rest of my career. Things just didn't work out. Now I'm with the Knicks.

When you think about the Knicks, you associate Patrick Ewing with the Knicks, you associate Walt Frazier with the Knicks. If I do all the right things and perform up to my capabilities, I hope you associate Larry Johnson with the Knicks someday, too.

My back is terrible, man. I mean, you're always going to have some pain, but nothing that will stop me from doing what I want to do.

I've turned down several assistant jobs in the NBA that I just didn't feel good about. I would love it at UNLV.

I just play the game. Stats aren't a big issue with me. I've been around six or seven years, and I've had stats in this league. I've had individual accomplishments. To me, it's overrated.

My main goal is to win me a championship.

It hurts to lose night after night.

We never played ball for money. We played because it was fun and I was good at it. But a lot of guys get paid big money to play this game, and I have a family I want to help out. But basketball will always be a game to me.

You can be totally focused on the game and all of a sudden at the Garden, you'll snap and go, 'Whoa!' It's super loud and you can't help but take a second to admire what's going on.

There's a roller coaster effect when you're playing good. Everything seems to go your way. But once you start playing bad, you're playing bad.

If I put on any pressure. I put it on myself. Nobody else puts pressure on Larry Johnson.
