This video got me hyped seriously, a few things he said which really made me excited...
Like DatPrince said, kid is a warrior. This is important especially going into this new era. Remember 1999 Knicks? Ewing out injured, sitting out of the playoffs with 10 games left. Houston Sprewell and LJ battled through like WARRIORS winning 8 of the last 10 games just to sneak into the 8th spot. Then went up against the Miami Heat 1st seed in the first round and knocked them off one of the biggest upsets in NBA history (with Ewing still riding the pine for most of that series).
Next up he's gonna play hard. Hard work is something that's been lacking night in night out at the Garden for the last 2 seasons. We saw it consistently from maybe 2 guys on the Knicks roster the last 2 years. David Lee and Toney D. Other players had stints of hard work but then rested on it. With players like Felton, Amare, Turiaf coming in and pushing that work ethic and having Toney D inspiring that ethic from a young players POV I expect Gallo, Chandler and Randolph to get into that mode and hopefully it will encourage Walker to keep up his hard work over the offseason.
And lastly he is not a player to shy away from the big time ball games. You heard him say it, he always has good games at MSG. It's true last year he was dominant almost single handedly bringing the Bobcats back to beat us in the 4th quarter. I expect him to be consistent and thrive under D'antoni's offense and the big stage of MSG.
