NYKnicks.com: What have you been up to over the summer?
Raymond Felton: Not much really. I’ve just been working out and spending time with friends and family. That’s about it.
NYKnicks.com: Talk a little bit about the process of how you became a Knick.
Felton: You know, it was free agency. It was my first summer, and this is all a business. I feel like I made the right decision to be here and be a Knickerbocker. It’s going to be great for me and great for my career. It’s going to be great for the whole team. I’m going to come in and play hard and try to win games. That’s what it is about.
NYKnicks.com: What did Head Coach Mike D’Antoni tell you he expects out of you this season?
Felton: Basically to push the ball up and down the court and run the team. That’s my job. I don’t think that is a hard job, but we still have to gel as one. We have some great young guys and great talent so we are going to try and make things happen.
NYKnicks.com: How do you foresee your style of play meshing with Amar’e Stoudemire’s?
Felton: Oh man, Amar’e and I have been in the same class since high school, so I’ve got a great personal relationship with him just going through all the camps and AAU tournaments. So I’ve known him a long time now. Plus, that style of basketball, pushing the ball up the court, that is something that I have gotten away from ever since college. I’ve kind of just been a point guard running the team and not really getting out into a system and going and making plays, so it is going to be fun getting back to that style of basketball. Just running and pushing up court and making basketball plays.
NYKnicks.com: Are there any other differences you foresee going from Charlotte to up here?
Felton: Well, it’s not really differences. Don’t get me wrong, I am not going to knock anything about Charlotte. Coach (Larry) Brown and all those guys are great coaches, and Coach Brown has done a lot for me as a player. He’s helped me out tremendously. But I think this system here fits my game tremendously. I’m the type of player that loves to get the ball up and down the court and run, make plays and make things happen.
