I think nobody should rash things and try to find the successor of Kobe Bryant.

You learn that the only thing you can control is being professional and staying focused. This is the NBA. There are a lot of things that you can't control.

I've never had a problem with anybody.

Chris Bosh helped a lot... and he was 'The Guy.' When you've got The Guy on your side it makes it easier.

I didn't expect to be in the NBA.

If I have to play 5, I'll play 5. That's what we've been doing for years in the Spanish team.

You have to know your role. But you need everybody to win games. You can't win by yourself - not in the NBA, not in Europe, not in Spain.

If you've got a teammate around you, you know sometimes they're going to score, sometimes you're going to pass the ball or you won't win games - unless you're Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. And even then, they need a good team around them.

I'm not happier because I'm starting on the Knicks. I could be starting, I could be coming off of the bench, and I'd be the same way.

At the end of the day, you're representing a team, you're representing a city, you got to go out there and play.
