Jose Calderon

“I feel like a coach when I'm on the court. I just see basketball as a team sport.”

“I've never had a problem with anybody.”

“My dad played for... the Villanueva de la Serena, so I guess that's why I play basketball instead of soccer.”

“It's always good when you're in a place where they really want you. That makes a huge difference.”

“I play a certain way and played like that for a while. Maybe you want a point guard to shoot 20 times, I like more to pass the ball and do my job running the team.”

“I didn't expect to be in the NBA.”

“I don't need to be the fastest or be able to jump highest to be effective or do the right things to help the team.”

“Anybody that we can get here or would be interested, I'd be willing to talk to, to try to make them come to the Knicks. I think we are one of the best franchises ever. Everybody wants to play here.”

“I never liked to be the one who did all the scoring, things like that.”

“In Europe, everybody does that. Every team goes looking the exact same way every time to play. Depending what is your team, you can go all with the same sweats, you can go all with the same suits, but usually everybody dresses to travel the same.”

“When you're with a team and you're comfortable there, everything seems O.K. You play a lot of minutes. You make the playoffs. You don't miss practice - all of that stuff. So when you leave for the summer, you're like, 'See you next year!' You expect maybe some changes, but nothing involving you.”

“I can open the floor for other guys. I've always put the team first.”

“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.”

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

“I'll try to help everybody. That's what I try to do as a point guard.”

“You just go out there and try to do your best. Some days are great. Other nights, it's maybe not your day. It's the other guy's day.”

“Just try to make the easy pass. Sometimes it's the easiest one that's the best one.”

“I've missed too much of my family life. I want to spend more time with my wife and kids.”

“I don't know why sometimes some players have to have problems with one another.”

“This is a sport about the team. There are big stars but without a team, big stars cannot do anything.”
