I've Always Been Skeptical Of People Who Say They Lose Themselves In A Part. Someone Once Came Up To Spencer Tracy And Asked, "aren't You Tired Of Always Playing Tracy?" Tracy Replied, "what Am I Supposed To Do, Play Bogart?" You Have To Develop A Style That Suits You And Pursue It, Not Just Develop A Bag Of Tricks.

I'm Just A Little Kid From Akron.

The Letter From Dan Gilbert, The Booing Of The Cleveland Fans, The Jerseys Being Burned -- Seeing All That Was Hard For Them. My Emotions Were More Mixed. It Was Easy To Say, 'ok, I Don't Want To Deal With These People Ever Again.' But Then You Think About The Other Side. What If I Were A Kid Who Looked Up To An Athlete, And That Athlete Made Me Want To Do Better In My Own Life, And Then He Left? How Would I React? I've Met With Dan, Face-to-face, Man-to-man.

They Continue To Criticize Me For My Outside Shooting, But I Continue To Make Outside Shots.

I Can't Play The Game Of Basketball And Live My Life On What Other People Expect Me To Do Or What They Think I Should Do. That Doesn't Make Me Happy. What Makes Me Happy Is Being Able To Make Plays For My Teammates, To Be Able To Represent The Name On The Back Of My Jersey.

I'm Going To Take My Talents To South Beach.

I've Been Watching Basketball For A Long Time, I'm A Historian Of The Game. I Don't Know Any Other Team That's Gotten To The Finals Without Two All-stars... I Cannot Remember Thinking Of It. I Don't Even Know If It's Ever Happened, For A Team To Lose Two All-stars And Still Be Able To Make It To The Finals.

I Won At Every Level - All The Way Since I Started Playing The Game Of Basketball At Nine. I've Won At Every Level, Won Championships At Every Level. And, You Know, It Won't Be Fulfilled Until I Win At The Highest Level.

The Only Thing On My Mind Right Now Is Trying To Win The Whole Thing.

Man, Meeting Michael Jordan For Me Was Like.. Black Jesus Walking Towards Me. It Was Overwhelming To Me To Finally Meet The Guy I've Looked Up To My Whole Life.

Well, Of Course You Question It, Especially When You Get To This Point. I Always Look At It Would I Rather Not Make The Playoffs Or Lose In The Finals? I Don't Know. I Don't Know. I've Missed The Playoffs Twice. I Lost In The Finals Four Times. I'm Almost Starting To Be Like I'd Rather Not Even Make The Playoffs Than To Lose In The Finals. It Would Hurt A Lot Easier If I Just Didn't Make The Playoffs And I Didn't Have A Shot At It.

I'm Not Going To Fight Because I Mean Too Much To Our Team, And I Can't Afford To Be Suspended For A Game Or Do Something Stupid To Get Me Kicked Out Of A Playoff Game.

I Love Seeing My Teammates Succeed. That's What I Get More Excited About Than Anything

It's Hard For Me To Congratulate Somebody After You Just Lose To Them. I'm A Winner. It's Not Being A Poor Sport Or Anything Like That. If Somebody Beats You Up, You're Not Going To Congratulate Them. That Doesn't Make Sense To Me. I'm A Competitor.

But Ever Since I Was A Kid, I Was Always The Winner.

They Jumped On Us. They Were The Aggressor. They Had Us On Our Heels From The Beginning.

I Treated It Like Every Day Was My Last Day With A Basketball.

When You Get To Know Some Of The History Of The Game, Oscar Robertson Is One Of The Names That Pops Up First.

Everywhere I've Been, I've Been The Best Player. I Love Being A Leader, And I Love Being The Best. I Just Want To Get Better. It's Not About Being Cocky Or Selfish Or Anything Like That. It's Just How I Am.

People Who Say "it Is Better To Have Loved And Lost Than Never To Have Loved At All" Never Felt A Broken Heart.

The First Time I Stepped On An Nba Court I Became A Businessman.

That's All Our Team Is About. If We Stop People, We're The Most Athletic Team In This Whole Tournament And We Can Get Out And Get Easy Buckets.

I'm A Winner...i'm A Competitor. That's What I Do. It Doesn't Make Sense For Me To Go Over And Shake Somebody's Hand.

We Ran Out Of Talent Tonight. The Guys Played As Hard As They Could, As Long As We Could.

Yoga Isn't Just About The Body, It's Also About The Mind And It's A Technique That Has Really Helped Me.

I'm A Guy Who Is Just Trying To Be Successful In Whatever I Do, And I Give Everything To My Teammates, Give Everything To The Coaching Staff. When You Fall Short, It Hurts And It Eats At You, And It Hurts Me To Know That I Wish I Could Have Done Better And Done More And Just Put A Little Bit More Effort Or Whatever The Case May Be To Help Us Get Over The Hump. But It Just Wasn't Our Time.

Nba Championships

My Family Is Happy. That Makes My Job A Lot Easier. For The Fans, I Try To Put It All Out There On The Floor.

Nba Championships

I Love The Success Of My Teammates More Than My Individual Achievements. I've Just Always Cared More About That Since I Started Playing.

Individual Achievement

I Like Being Around People.

Why Should I Care? I Have All The Money In The World.

You Know, Softball Is The Other Sport I Do Besides Basketball.

But Put My Body Through A Lot, You Know, But It's The Price For Your Body Feeling This Way For Winning. Did I Win? I Didn't Win A Championship, But I've Done A Lot Of Good Things In This First Year Back, And Hopefully I Can Continue It.

Nba Championships

I Always Believed That I’d Return To Cleveland And Finish My Career There.

I Took Hedo (turkoglu) In The First Game And Rashard (lewis) Hit The Winning Shot. I Took Rashard In The Second Game And Hedo Hit The Shot. If I Could Clone Myself, We'd Be All Right. But I Can't.

Sometimes In The Past When I Played Something Might Make Me Lose Focus, Or I Would Go Home After A Game Where I Thought I Could Have Played Better And I Would Let It Hang Over My Head For A Long Time When It Shouldn't.

The Best Option For Me To Do Was Not To Move. I Tried, And Any Little Nudge Or Step, It The Cramping Would Get Worse. It Was The Whole Left Leg ... Nearly The Whole Left Side. ... I Drank A Lot Of Fluids At Halftime. I Even Changed My Uniform.

Cleveland Fans Are Awesome.

I'm A Leader. I'm The Leader Of This Team, And They Look For Me At Any Point In The Game, And That's Not Just Scoring-wise, I Do Other Things.

You Learn From Mistakes, You Learn From Losses, But This Game Doesn't Put Something On Me Where It's, 'hey, I've Finally Done It. This Was A Big Game. We Won It And We Have To Move On.'

Nba Championships

I Do Have Motivation. A Lot Of Motivation.

Every Night On The Court I Give My All, And If I'm Not Giving 100 Percent, I Criticize Myself.

A Lot Of People Were Saying That I Was A Selfish Person And A Selfish Player. You Know, It Got To Me.

Ask Me To Play. I'll Play. Ask Me To Shoot. I'll Shoot. Ask Me To Pass. I'll Pass. Ask Me To Steal, Block Out, Sacrifice, Lead, Dominate. Anything. But It's Not What You Ask Of Me. It's What I Ask Of Myself.

I'm Taking My Talents To South Beach.

But Then I Lock Back In And I Start Thinking About How Fun It Is To Compete During The Playoffs And The First Round, The Second Round, And Eastern Conference Finals. If I'm Lucky Enough To Get Here Again, It Will Be Fun To Do It.

Missing Someone

In The Next 15 Or 20 Years, I Hope I'll Be The Richest Man In The World. That's One Of My Goals. I Want To Be A Billionaire. I Want To Get To A Position Where Generation On Generation Don't Have To Worry About Nothing. I Don't Want Family Members From My Kids To My Son's Kids To Never Have To Worry. And I Can't Do That Now Just Playing Basketball.

When Did I Know I Had Talent? I Think It Started When I First Started Playing Sports, Organized Sports.

Nba Championships

That's One Of My Biggest Obstacles. I'm Afraid Of Failure. I Want To Succeed So Bad That I Become Afraid Of Failing.

Basketball Isn't Easy. All My Life I've Been Striving To Make Myself Better. It's A Full Time Commitment. To Be The Best, You Have To Work The Hardest. You Have To Chase What Seems Impossible Over And Over And Over Again, Because Giving Up Is Not An Option, And When You Feel Like You've Reached Your Limit, It's Only The Beginning, That's When The Time To Dig Deep, To Find The Courage To Push Some More, Because If You've Got The Drive, The Discipline, And The Resolve To Do What It Takes To Make Yourself Great, Then The Rewards Are Endless.

That's Crazy, Because I Had No Idea What The Word 'contraction' Meant Before I Saw It On The Internet.

Once You Get On The Playing Field It's Not About Whether You're Liked Or Not Liked. All That Matters Is To Play At A High Level And Do Whatever It Takes To Help Your Team Win. That's What It's About.

If I Could Have Gave More, I Would Have Done It. I Gave Everything I Had
