"It's like when you have a guy like Dennis Rodman, he never wanted to score the basketball. He took a 3-pointer here and there for the crowd and he scored when he was open, but his prime objective was go out and play defense and rebound the ball."
He's comparing himself to the Worm ... Knicks needed a guy like this.
