It was a challenge. You can kind of take it the wrong way and take it personally, but New York fans are passionate. They want to say, 'If I had that skill and that ability and that body, that's how I would play.' I knew that, but you have to put yourself in other people's shoes sometimes. All I could do is do what I could do. Even with the pain, the contract was a blessing. All I did was do everything to the best of my ability.
More Quotes from Allan Houston:
We're going to give it a couple of days to settle down and just keep doing what we've been doing, ... I'm not really overreacting to anything. It's just that you've got to give it time. I haven't really been doing it. Once you're going at full speed, your body has to respond to it. You have to let it do it at its own pace.Allan Houston

I always wanted to be in those moments where you could have an opportunity to win a game with a play or a shot, or have a part in it, ... I've been very fortunate to have a lot of those moments. Miami was probably the single moment that stands out. If I had a Knick memory that would stand out, that would be it.

Let's pray for Jim Dolan. Let's pray for our organization.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.
