When I'm playing in a close game, I'm out on the floor only trying to help the team win.

I'm a good student. Just trying to learn as much as possible is how I picked up so many languages.

You can never really relax until you've signed that contract with your team.

I'm adding moves to my post game. I'm really working on staying low. I'm working on my strength overall, especially my legs. That's going to help me defensively as well.

It's a dream come true for me to be an idol for those kids. One little moment from my life that I spend with that kid, he might remember that for the rest of his life, that he met me that day when he was 10 years old.

I'll keep growing as a player, keep working out, trying to become what I want to become.

Of course the defenders are trying to be physical with me. They look at me, 7-3, skinny, they try to be physical.

I think Carmelo is a great player. He makes players around him better. Whatever thing, whatever Carmelo wants me to do, I will do that out on the court just to prove that I'm worthy enough to be on the court with him, starting with the dirty jobs - just getting rebounds, getting shots, getting blocks, and just running the court.

I like the triangle. My first season, the whole first season, we played nothing but the triangle, so I know it pretty well.

That's something that I gotta prove - I don't like being labeled as 'soft.' I'm not soft.

Nobody wants to be losing, especially in New York. It's extremely tough. That's how it is.

Before I got to the NBA, I always flew coach - it was the worst time of my life. I remember being 14 or 15, and it was such a struggle to fit into those seats.

I have 'Friday.' I have 'Dinner For Schmucks.' And I have 'John Wick.' There are others too I can't think of now, but those are my go-to movies.

I know if I play hard and show that I want to be a Knick, I know the fans will accept me.

I love playing ping pong.

I learned English from watching American movies and American series. And you'd watch the movie the first time and not understand anything. Then you'd watch it again, and you'd start understanding more and more, and that's how I learned English.

I really wanted to get drafted by the Knicks, and it was a dream come true. I wasn't even hearing the boos that night. I was just having a special moment with my family, hugging them.

Playing in New York, there's a lot of pressure, but me and some Europeans like the pressure.

My quiet place is in the gym. When I feel like going to church, it's for me the MSG training facility and working on my game.
