A Quote by Baron Davis

Sometimes the Knicks just need to be the Knicks. And not the New York Knicks. What I mean by that is that they're New York's team and everybody is going to be focused on that. But they should learn to pace themselves, set goals and be patient with what they're doing.

I think the media makes it tough to play in New York. There are so many papers and TV channels covering the Knicks and the expectations for the Knicks are so high.

John Starks

It was reported that the New York Knicks have won all 12 of the home games attended by magician David Blaine. A spokesman for the Knicks said, 'if this is what it takes to win, it's not worth it.'

Tina Fey

Everybody in New York thinks the Knicks are Playboy bunnies, and I have been telling them for years the Knicks are a rabbit. They're closer to a Playboy bunny this year but for the last few years these guys are like, 'We have a really good team!' And I say, 'You really think that?' And I say, 'No, they don't.' But this is the best team they've had in a while.

Charles Barkley

When you think about the Knicks, you associate Patrick Ewing with the Knicks, you associate Walt Frazier with the Knicks. If I do all the right things and perform up to my capabilities, I hope you associate Larry Johnson with the Knicks someday, too.

Larry Johnson

My late grandfather, rest in peace, he was the biggest Knicks fan and he always told me I'd play for the Knicks, so it would mean a lot for me to play for the team.

RJ Barrett

When I got to the NBA, that first Knicks group was pretty dysfunctional. But it was on me, too. I didn't understand the game as much as I should have. I should have watched more film. Instead of thinking of the team, I was thinking about me. That Knicks team went 23-59.

Channing Frye

The Knicks were one of my favorite places to play - just the energy of the New York fans in general is amazing.

Tom Thibodeau

If I'm able to get drafted by the New York Knicks, it would be a blessing.

Trae Young

Coach [Pat] Riley's record speaks for itself. What makes him so special is he is a coach clearly concerned about winning. His whole thinking when he wakes up every day is how can I make this team [ New York Knicks] more focused and going through 82 games during the regular season and the playoffs.

John Starks

I still want to see the Knicks do well; I do. I promise I do. That's my team. After all the stuff that happened, people say to me, 'You still like the Knicks?' Well, that's just the way it is. That's what happens when you're a kid. Your team is your team, and everything is die-hard.

Stephon Marbury

I want to play a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which is where the New York Knicks play. That's what I want.

William Beckett

I was in New York, I went to a Yankees game and I called and said, 'Can I get tickets to the Knicks game?' They said, 'We can't get you tickets no more to the Knicks game.'... They had tickets, but they said they didn't have no tickets for me.

Charles Oakley

As a kid, New York was in my blood, and that was it. I got a chance to play for the Knicks, so it was cool, but it was towards the end of my career.
