Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me. ↗

Pat Riley, Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld - they brought the Knicks back to the glory days. It started with Rick Pitino. We took our first step with him, making the playoffs. When Pat came in we just kicked the door open. ↗

I'm a football guy. Baseball, I enjoy it at playoff time. ↗

We had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth and I think if that's not enough motivation I don't think you should be playing this game. ↗

I played in the playoffs with teams that were known for flopping and you do not get respect. ↗

When I go back to NFL functions today, I feel a bit on the outside looking in. I played 13 years in the NFL, and I loved it - made a Pro Bowl and went to the playoffs - but I always felt like I was having to knock the door down to get in. ↗

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now. ↗

Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that. But if we're not making the playoffs and we're spending and losing money, then I have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm not taking the necessary steps to doing what it takes to run an organization. ↗

I'm not going to fight because I mean too much to our team, and I can't afford to be suspended for a game or do something stupid to get me kicked out of a playoff game. ↗

We've played with a lot of confidence and that's been the key so far. Hopefully, we can take more confidence into the playoffs. ↗
