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 have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason. ↗

I've been in the league 12 years. To sit on the bench and complain about the way things were, that doesn't get anything done. I don't know. I'm playing for a championship and trying to make the playoffs. My effort has never changed. ↗

My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA. ↗

No matter how noble and special people want to make the playoffs out to be... it's a crapshoot. ↗

The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you. ↗

I think when you saw this year's playoffs, Miami and Detroit have a pretty fierce rivalry now. Also, the Suns and San Antonio look like they're starting to develop something there. I look forward to seeing those rivalries continue and develop. ↗

Making the playoffs three consecutive seasons is a great accomplishment. ↗

I think we have played like a playoff team for some time. We can still do better. The key thing right now is to look forward, not behind you. ↗
