I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.
Starting, coming off the bench, whatever it may be, I feel I can adjust and I can play pretty much any role that I'm put in.
When you're preparing for a game, you prepare like you're starting. But if you're not, if you're coming off the bench, everybody has a role.
Coming off the bench or starting doesn't matter to me one bit. I just want to win.
If it's coming off the bench or if it's starting, I will try to contribute what is best for the team. If we're winning, I'm not going to complain.
To be honest, I don't really care if I'm starting or coming off the bench.
If I'm playing good off the bench, it's going to help us win games.
The advantage of not starting is you're sitting back, looking at the game and saying, 'OK, we need rebounding,' or 'We need hustle points.' Coming off the bench, that's what you try to do. The disadvantage of it is you gotta catch that flow. You're coming off the bench, you gotta come ready, warmed up already, catch the flow of the game.
Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.
I've worn a lot of different roles for this team - off the bench, starting, closer, point, off the ball, whatever it may be. So, that's kind of how I view myself - the multi-purpose utility guy who helps keep the guys together, trying to make the sacrifice plays to help the team win.
I try to play with the same confidence whether I'm starting or coming off the bench.
I'm not worried about who's starting and who's coming off the bench.
I really don't care about coming from the bench if that helps the team to win a championship.
For me, it's about trying to do everything I can to help us win. Try to bring that energy every night, try to make it as contagious as possible and try to win a game.
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.
When I come off the bench, I have that intensity and that effort. That's something all of us guys are trying to bring, but especially the guys off the bench. Because we can play a role in any game, let alone the playoffs.
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
