Knicks Rookie Immanuel Quickley Keeps His Bulletin Board Material in his Camera Roll

When you’re a professional athlete, you’re going to need to do whatever it takes in order to stay motivated. For New York Knicks rookie Immanuel Quickley, that means remembering all the negative comments. He’s figured out a way to keep them all together and easily accessible, and it’s pretty genius. Whenever he needs a little motivational boost, he looks right at his phone.

He has everything screenshotted and stored in his camera roll album.

“Man, I got that screen-shotted. I have that screen-shotted,” Quickley said during an appearance this week on The Post’s podcast “Big Apple Buckets” with hosts Sal Licata and Jake Brown. “I have a camera roll album of all the stuff that motivates me, and that’s one of them. Definitely screen-shotted and saved in my phone.

“I will say it’s not all negative stuff. It’s positive stuff that was said, too, and affirmations, but some of the stuff that’s in there are definitely things where people said I couldn’t do this or couldn’t do that. I just try to use that to prove the haters wrong and try to prove myself right.”

Quickley seems to be already finding his way in the NBA.  He currently ranks fifth among rookies in scoring average, and he’s first in player efficiency rating.

Guys like this are always the ones you have to watch out for, that chip that he plays with on his shoulder can be very effective.
