My dad went to the Olympics, so he has that one over me. So if I go there, I'm pretty sure he has nothing to say anymore.
As a player you want to be on the big stage.
New York, playing in the Garden, I've always been a player who likes to play with a lot of people watching.
Everybody kind of feels something for where they grew up, where they came from.
I'm not soft at all.
I've always been confident.
Not really anything wrong with Memphis. New York is just more where I wanted to be.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm a huge Patriots fan, so I like Tom Brady.
The way I operate is I want to win, so I'll do whatever.
I've always wanted to make it to the NBA and be on a team, so whatever team drafts me I'm going to be happy with.
There's always people coming behind trying to take your spot and I don't want anyone to take my spot.
What I always say is, 'To each his own.' Everybody has a different trajectory or path in life.
I think everybody's goal is to make the NBA. My goal is to be a star.
I embrace New York.
New York is my favorite. Every summer I visited. I have family there. That's where my mom grew up, so I've definitely been there a lot.
I don't like the feeling of 'I didn't do enough.'
I've dealt with a lot of media and I know the New York media different, for sure.
I'm so overwhelmed, humbled and just honored the Knicks took the chance with me.
I actually grew up in Europe half my life. Then Canada, then the States.
I feel I can connect with anybody. I'm definitely a personality.
I call New York just a bigger version of Toronto.
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.
I don't care whether I'm in the spotlight, not in the spotlight. That's not gonna stop me from doing anything.
Obviously, you want to do well. As a competitor you don't like not doing well.
Really I can do everything on the court pass, shoot, dribble, score.
I love playing in the Garden. My dad used to tell me stories about playing here. So to see that crowd, it's crazy.
