Film Quote by Channing Frye
“When I got to the NBA, that first Knicks group was pretty dysfunctional. But it was on me, too. I didn't understand the game as much as I should have. I should have watched more film. Instead of thinking of the team, I was thinking about me. That Knicks team went 23-59.”
