    There was a point at which I thought I'd never get the most valuable player, especially the years I played at Minnesota.

    It's pretty simple, the way I look at it. I became a Hall of Famer here (in New York), with my numbers here and what I've done here, and hopefully three-hundred will be another big part of that.

It's definitely pretty easy. Reggie (Jackson) spent five years here, and this will be five for me.

    New York is just New York. It's a hard city, it's a hard city to live in. It's a desperate city. It's filled with scam artists and people who are always looking for a way in and a way out and the majority of people have to really negotiate their way through that jungle to get to the other side; the other side being a place of tranquility and peace and home and safety.
