Nobody should expect more of you than you expect of yourself.
To go out there and play and have fun and hopefully win a championship. That's my goal.
You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.
Play hard, learn as much as I can and do what I do best. The rest will take care of itself I think.
When I step on that basketball court, I'm thinking about basketball, I'm thinking about winning - but there's so much that goes into thought about how I'm going to open this game up to others. It's so much more than just basketball.
When I was young, I was sold on winning. I was always serious on the court. As I got older, I realized that it was just a basketball game. Just go out there and have fun.
I just don't want to get used to feeling this feeling, you know, losing basketball games.
A lot of people I meet say, 'You remind me so much of Magic Johnson.'
As a good player in the inner city, you're always hearing people saying that you're better than you really are and that you don't have to do things like everybody else.
Every year it's been people saying I can't do this or I can't do that. Y'all will see something different, I can tell you that.
Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.
I smile all the time, even when I'm in a bad mood. I always try to keep a smile on my face.
I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.
I got an owner that looks out for me. You can't beat that.
I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.
I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.
Although you do look at the big picture, if you're dealing with the now, it can be kind of frustrating. You're losing basketball games, things not going the way you want it to go or should go, but at the same time we've just got to stay with it. Just stay positive, just stay focused, as a team, as a unit, because the ship easily can sink early.
We're still getting better as a team. We're still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games.
I have my own identity as a player.
I think everybody has their own unique style.
I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
I can't palm a basketball.
It will work out, somehow. That's a hell of a duo right there, Marbury, Crawford and Houston.
Leadership is something I was born with.
I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams. Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and I am surrounded by the greatest fans in the world.
