Thanasis Antetokounmpo on getting drafted by the Knicks: I don't know why they drafted me because when I was sitting down they were asking me about players and they kept saying… because it was two sides. I don't know if people remember this, but it was two sides of the Knicks. It was the Knicks, the New York Knicks, Allan Houston, and everybody else that was like in the organization, and then it was the other side of the Lakers when Phil Jackson came. So, it was those two that when they were interviewing me, there was I remember vividly, I would sit down at the table and it was like the Lakers’ side and the Knicks’ side. They would ask me, you know, regular questions and it's like, hey, like, you know, where do you live? Do you have a spouse? Do you have kids? Like, no, no, all these other things. And the other people would ask me like, "What do you think about Dennis Rodman?" Like, "Oh, shoot. Okay. Yeah. What do you think about Trevor Ariza?" And then now looking back, I was like, "Oh, they were comparing me. They were trying to get me to say like, hey, because if I had said I don't really see myself like them, they’re not my style. I don't think I get drafted to the Knicks, because I love those players, you know, they would be like, and Shannon Brown and all these kind of like cats that were saying. I was like, "Oh, okay. I get what they're saying." And then, you know, I ended up getting drafted. One of, you know, one of the happiest moments in my life because I was very very worried. You know, when Giannis got drafted, I was like, "Wow, I got to make it. I got to do something for my family. I got to make sure we're good."

Q. Without injuries, how far you think y'all would have went like with that Wizards team? John Wall: I think we would have gotten to East Conference finals for sure. We would have made that step. And I think like I was getting to where I was, Bradley Beal was getting to where he was, somebody would have wanted to come play with us. We were missing one piece. Like Trevor Ariza was a great three-man. I think we just needed another like superstar because every team at that time was having three stars. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: I would say just like a mid-level superstar. Like somebody out there to get you 15 20 you know every night.
