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

I love being a wing, you can make plays there and also get down there to download the bigs so I feel that is the perfect position for me.

My dad played in so many places, so I got to learn from so many other guys and they get to teach me.

Any time you meet a great successful player, a successful star, it's just an honour to be in their presence.

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

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

My late grandfather, rest in peace, he was the biggest Knicks fan and he always told me I'd play for the Knicks, so it would mean a lot for me to play for the team.

I don't like the feeling of 'I didn't do enough.'

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

My dad went far in basketball, so I just see that there are still people that are better than me. So I try to play like an underdog and I'm just trying to surpass my dad.

I think everybody's goal is to make the NBA. My goal is to be a star.

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.

John Starks is one of my favorite players.

Shaking the commissioner's hand has always been a big thing for me. When you're young and you watch the draft every year, you're like, 'That's going to be me one day.'

I just like chilling with my friends, playing 'NBA 2K' and stuff.

I like lows because you can only go up from there.

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 just see the ball and I go for it. It's wanting to make a winning play for the team and get a rebound.

My mom grew up in Brooklyn.

If I'm tired, I'm trying to still say hi to a fan or still talk to that person 'cause that one meeting with them can impact how they think of me for the rest of their life.
