I Want To Be A Free Agent. I Think Everybody In The Nba Dreams To Be A Free Agent At Least One Time In Their Career. It's Like You Have An Evaluation Period. It's Like If I'm In The Gym And I Have All The Coaches, All The Owners, All The Gms Come Into The Gym And Just Evaluate Everything I Do. So Yes, I Want That Experience.

I Kind Of Knew Cleveland Was Going To Get The No. 1 Pick. I Think They Rigged It. No, Don't Quote Me On That.

Denver Is Home To Me, And To Be Recognized For My Achievements In The Sports Community Here Is A Great Honor.

When I Step On That Basketball Court, I'm Thinking About Basketball, I'm Thinking About Winning - But There's So Much That Goes Into Thought About How I'm Going To Open This Game Up To Others. It's So Much More Than Just Basketball.

I'm Not At The Point In My Career Where I Want To Rebuild.

Man, I'm Not Trying To Be Important; I Just Go Out And Play.

If I Were President? First Thing I'd Do Is Take Care Of The Schoolteachers. I'm Not Saying We Should Start 'em Out With Six Figures, But In Some Places They've Got To Be Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, And Mentor. They're Real Important People. Let's Give 'em A Raise - And Attract The Best People To The Job.

The Only Person I Ever Wanted To Meet Was Muhammad Ali. And Of All The People I've Ever Met, He's The One Who Most Impressed Me. It's Tough To Listen To Him. You Gotta Have Patience. But You See How Strong His Mind Is. Even Now, He's One Of The Most Intelligent People On The Planet.

I Can't Palm A Basketball.

I Want To Retire In New York, Let's Be Quite Frank. I Think A Lot Of People Jumped The Gun When I Said I Wanted To Be A Free Agent. And Yeah, I Want People To Come To Play In New York. I Want Them To Want To Play In New York. I Want New York To Be That Place Where Guys Want To Come Play.

I Did This Campaign That Was Called "back To The Basics" Where I Went Back To The Street, Went Back To My Block, And Really Felt The People. We've Got To Go Back To That Sometimes. We Distance Ourselves From That And We See It From Afar. Some People Can't Relate Back To That; Once You're Out Of It, They Don't Want To Relate Back To That. It's Always Good To Get Back To The Basics, Though. You've Got To Touch The Roots, You've Got To Touch Those People. Regardless Of What's Going On, People Always Respect That.

People Need To See The Authentic People That Are Still Out There, The Genuine People That Really Care.

A Lot Of People I Meet Say, 'you Remind Me So Much Of Magic Johnson.'

Success Is The Result Of Psychologically Preparing For It, Prior To Achieving It!

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'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.

We All Need That Sometimes, To Get Re-sparked Again. Sometimes It's Different Influences And Different Motivations; Sometimes We've Got To Go And Get Back To The Basics.

I Think I Am A Smarter Player Now.

I Think People Fail To Realize That Teams And Organizations Have Been Stacking Teams Since Way Back In The Day. The Lakers Had The Showtime Era. Boston Had Six Hall Of Famers On One Team. You Had Detroit, The New York Knicks, And Now The Miami Heat. They Were Stacking Their Teams Back Then, It Just Fell Off Over The Years And Now It Picked Back Up. Boston Did It First, Then La. I Was Fortunate Enough To Play Against Them When They Had Shaq, Kobe, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Karl Malone... That's Five Hall Of Famers On One Team! So You Can't Get Mad At Miami For Doing What They Did.

Everything On My Body Has A Meaning. I Don't Do Art Just Because. It Does Look Cool But It Also Has A Meaning.

A Lot Of People Think That As A Player, During The Lockout, You Just Have Your Whole Day Free. It's Not Like That - Especially For Me. I Wake Up Everyday, Train In The Morning From 9 A.m. To About 2 P.m. Then I Have A Business Meeting Here, Have To Meet This Person There, It's Non-stop For Me.

You Just Got Ta Believe, I Have Never Been A Quitter In My Life Or In My Career.

I Think I'm The Most Underrated Superstar That's Out There, But That Doesn't Matter To Me.

I Got A Picture [tattoo] Of Mohammed Ali On My Side With One Of His Quotes. That's My Guy. I Look Up To Him. I'm Like His Number One Fan.

The Fans Are Dying. We're Dying.

I Know There's A Lot Of Pressure, But I'm Just Going To Go Out And Play My Game.

I Never Envisioned Myself Playing For The U.s. Olympic Team -- Growing Up, I Never Envisioned Playing In The Nba, To Be Real With You. I Never Envisioned That Type Of Stuff. So This Is Like A Dream That I Never Had Come True. It's Like I'm A Part Of What's Really Going On. It's Still Very Hard For Me To Believe That I Am Really Going To Be A Part Of The Biggest Thing In The Whole Entire World.

I Want To Win. I Don't Care About The Money.

I'm Not At The Point In My Career Where I Want To Rebuild.

I Have My Own Identity As A Player.

I Believe That You Should Put The Right People Around You, People That Will Not Let Anything Go Wrong.

I Want To Win The Game. I Dont Worry About Taking Over The Game Unless I Have To.

I'm A Baltimore Ravens Fan And I'm A Baltimore Orioles Fan. I Have Them Tattooed On Me.

At This Point In My Career I'm Not Concerned About The Money, It's About Winning. Nothing Else Even Matters.

It's Easier For Me To Let The Game Just Come To Me.

You Just Got Ta Believe, I Have Never Been A Quitter In My Life Or In My Career.

As A Kid I Couldn't Afford Any Jordans, So I Didn't Get My First Pair Until My Last Year Of High School. They Were Air Jordan 9s.

I Got A Picture [tattoo] Of Mohammed Ali On My Side With One Of His Quotes. That's My Guy. I Look Up To Him. I'm Like His Number One Fan.

There Weren't Any Sports Figures That I Idolized Because I Didn't Really Believe In Myself Back Then Or Think That I Could Make It Here. There Were Some Regular People In My Neighborhood That I Looked Up To Growing Up But That Was It.

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.

It Bothers Me To Hear People Talk About Things They Know Nothing About.

Everything On My Body Has A Meaning. I Don't Do Art Just Because. It Does Look Cool But It Also Has A Meaning.

As A Good Player In The Inner City, You're Always Hearing People Saying That You're Better Than You Really Are And That You Don't Have To Do Things Like Everybody Else.

Family Time Is The Best Time.

I Think People Fail To Realize That Teams And Organizations Have Been Stacking Teams Since Way Back In The Day.

I Can't Worry About What Other People Are Saying About Me. At The End Of The Day, It's Just Their Opinions, But If I Said I Don't Hear It, Or It Doesn't Bother Me A Little Bit, I'd Be Lying To You.

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.

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 James Dolan's Steps Saying Take My Money And Let's Build Something Strong Over Here.'

As Long As You Stay True To Yourself And To Who You Are, You Ain't In Nobody's Way.

Stay True To Yourself

I Think I Am A Smarter Player Now.

I Don't Put Pressure On Myself. When I Put Pressure On Myself, Then I Just Play Bad. When I Play Bad, My Team Plays Bad.

The Nbas A Fortune 500 Company. Thats How You Look At It. And All The Other Fortune 500 Companies Out There In The World, You Dont See Their Ceos And Coos Going To Work With White Tees And Baggy Clothes And Stuff Like That. So I Have To Take That Same Approach.

If You Laugh, Think, And Cry; That's A Full Day.

Nobody Should Expect More Of You Than You Expect Of Yourself.

Every Morning You Have Two Choices: Continue To Sleep With Your Dreams, Or Wake Up And Chase Them.

You've Got To Have Fun On The Court. If You Ain't Having Fun, Then Basketball Ain't Fun.

It [boxing] Helps My Hand-eye Coordination, My Stamina, My Footwork, And It Gives Me That Competitive Edge And Drive. And In The Ring It's Mano-a-mano. So It Helps You Build That Arrogance, That Cockiness, That Confidence In Yourself That The Man That Stands In Front Of You Isn't Going To Beat You, And That Translates To The Court.

Man, I Think The Sky Is The Limit For This Team.

I Kind Of Knew Cleveland Was Going To Get The No. 1 Pick. I Think They Rigged It. No, Don't Quote Me On That.

Although You Do Look At The Big Picture, If You're Dealing With The Now, It Can Be Kind Of Frustrating. You're Losing Basketball Games, Things Not Going The Way You Want It To Go Or Should Go, But At The Same Time We've Just Got To Stay With It. Just Stay Positive, Just Stay Focused, As A Team, As A Unit, Because The Ship Easily Can Sink Early.

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.

I Smile All The Time, Even When I'm In A Bad Mood. I Always Try To Keep A Smile On My Face.

I Think I'll Always Want To Improve My Defense. That's Something That Can Always Be Better. Not Saying It's Bad Now, Just Something You Should Always Work On.

I Don't Put Pressure On Myself. When I Put Pressure On Myself, Then I Just Play Bad. When I Play Bad, My Team Plays Bad.

Although You Do Look At The Big Picture, If You're Dealing With The Now, It Can Be Kind Of Frustrating.

I Want To Win. I Don't Care About The Money.

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.

I Say 'come With It.' I'm Not Expecting Anything Easy. You Have To Earn Your Place. That's Fine With Me.

I Did This Campaign That Was Called "back To The Basics" Where I Went Back To The Street, Went Back To My Block, And Really Felt The People. We've Got To Go Back To That Sometimes. We Distance Ourselves From That And We See It From Afar. Some People Can't Relate Back To That; Once You're Out Of It, They Don't Want To Relate Back To That.

So You Can't Get Mad At Miami For Doing What They Did.

Play Hard, Learn As Much As I Can And Do What I Do Best. The Rest Will Take Care Of Itself I Think.

When I Really Like Something, I Try To Put My All Into It. This Is Something Thats Different From When I Was Growing Up On The Basketball Court, Running Up And Down, Scoring 30 Points Or Something. This Is Totally Something Different.

Every Year It's Been People Saying I Can't Do This Or I Can't Do That. Y'all Will See Something Different, I Can Tell You That.
