The New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks by 25 points on opening night, which was one of the NBA's biggest surprise results.

“It comes a point in time when you have to believe in something,” Anthony said.

Anthony is coming back from knee surgery.

“Any time you’re kind of dealing with the knee, you start second-guessing things. Am I going to come back the same way? Am I going to have my bounce again? Am I going to be the same player? Will I be able to move like this? Will I still have my first step or my second jump? I started thinking that,” Anthony told Yahoo. “The more time you’re sitting around, you can’t move, you can’t do nothing, a lot of things go through your mind dealing with something like that.”

The Knicks weren't a popular pick to make the playoffs.

“I believe in this team,” Anthony said. “I believe in the guys on this team. I know what they can do. I know the work that they put in. I know how hungry they are to get that tag off of them and bring New York back to where it should be. We know it’s a process.”
