A Quote by Derrick Rose
I put that on myself with not telling the Knicks. It was just bad timing but I'm not perfect, far from it. The front office and my teammates, they knew where I was coming from when I told them what happened.

When he entered the Oval Office - by fate, not by design - Citizen Ford knew that he was not perfect, just as he knew he was not perfect when he left. But what president ever was?
Saying just the right thing after a considerable, awkward pause is far less effective than saying the wrong thing with perfect timing. I'm telling you.
No one was to blame for what happened, but that does not make it any less difficult to accept. It was all a matter of missed connections, bad timing, blundering in the dark. We were always in the right place at the wrong time, the wrong place at the right time, always just missing each other, always just a few inches from figuring the whole thing out. That's what the story boils down to, I think. A series of lost chances. All the pieces were there from the beginning, but no one knew how to put them together.
You know, if you use instrument, why, you have to stay on perfect time - timing. And if you do a cappella - I'm so bad, just wonder, you know, maybe I'll sing one verse this way and one verse another. And if you're doing it a capella, you don't have to keep any time. You can just go out as far as you want to with it.
The single best thing about coming out of the closet is that nobody can insult you by telling you what you've just told them.
It's a business with the coaches. It's a business with the front office. So I don't get too tied up if I'm appreciated by them. Because at the end of the day, my teammates are who I play for.
I can't wait to play in front of the many Knicks fans, friends, and family in the NYC area and very much look forward to being a part of the Knicks organization.
To me, the thing is, through good or bad, if you're a Knicks fan, you're down with the Knicks, and that's the bottom line.
When your teammates are telling you to score and telling you to shoot 3s, when you ain't shot a 3 in your whole life, that's cool. I mean, that makes you feel good. and, like, all the work you've put in, they are telling you to show what you have been working on.
I didn't know why I was coming to this room. Someone just told me to go to Sam Raimi's office. I knew that I uniquely had the comics version of his job, which was to take Spider-Man and put him into the modern day. But I thought, "Maybe he wants to tell me to cut it out." So I come in, it's in his office, and then Stan Lee comes in, and I'd only ever met Stan as a fan, not as a professional. And then they sit us down on a couch, and roll in an AV cart with a TV on it and go, "We're going to show you the first cut of Spider-Man."
For me, addiction never really included telling myself that everything was okay. By the time I was deep in my addictions, I knew things were pretty bad and I had no control over them.
I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don't do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect - that's silly, that's naive. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones.
Being in front of the camera - first of all, when I wanted to get into television, it was as a producer. I never had an idea that I would do anything in front of the camera, and that kind of happened by accident. But I wanted to be a producer or give me a job with the Yankees or play for the Knicks. I was a sports nut when I was a kid.
I've been hearing it for years now, the Knicks. Every time I come home, it's, 'When are you coming home to the Knicks?'
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.
My first game went very well. My teammates told me to be quiet and not to put pressure on myself. I hope to do even more in the future and start scoring goals.
