Be Doers Of The Word And Not Hearers Only, Deluding Yourselves.

We Were Playing Every Game To Win, We Just Happened To Win 27 In A Row. Our Motto Was To Try And Go Out And Win Every Game, But There's Nothing Really To Talk About.

If I Could Clone Myself, We’d Be All Right. But I Can’t.

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.

For If Any Be A Hearer Of The Word, And Not A Doer, He Is Like A Man Beholding His Natural Face In A Glass: For He Beholdeth Himself, And Goeth His Way, And Straightaway Forgetteth What Manner Of Man He Was.

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.'

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

I Don't Really Get Involved In It, The Whole Thing. I Understand How Important This City Is And What I Mean To This City And What Our Team Means To The City... But I Don't Get Caught Up Into It. I Just Go Out And Play My Game. I Try To Lead The Best Way I Can, And If I Can Put My Team And This Franchise In A Position To Win The Title, I'm Grateful For That.

As A Kid, We Would Drive Up And Down 77 North - That's Our Highway - There Would Be Office Buildings On The Side Of The Highway And I'd Be Like, That's What My House Is Going To Look Like When I Get Older. I'm Going To Start Making My House Look Like This.

A Lebron James Team Is Never Desperate.

Don't Be Afraid Of Failure. This Is The Way To Succeed.

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.

And I Can't Do That Now Just Playing Basketball.

And Winning Is A Huge Thing For Me.

As A Man, If You Got A Problem With Somebody, You Sit Down Face To Face And You Talk To Them Eye To Eye. And You Hash It Out And Move On.

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.

He Reminds Me Of Michael Jordan. "you Look And They Have Similar Games Where They Want To Lead Their Team To Victory, No Matter If They Have To Shoot The Ball Every Time Or If They Have To Rebound Or Pass, They're Going To Find A Way To Win." I've Always Said That Kobe Bryant Is The Best Scorer In Our Game Today And He's Definitely Proving Himself.

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

We Hated Cleveland Growing Up. There's A Lot Of People In Cleveland We Still Hate To This Day.

Once You Squeeze Toothpaste Out, You Can't Put It Back Into The Tube. The Same Is True With Our Words. Once We Say Something Hurtful, We Can't Take It Back

No Place Is Better Than Akron.

I Will Have No Problem Coming To Practice On Time. The Locker Room Is Great, But We Have To Prove Ourselves On The Court.

Am I Responsible Or Are You', A Senior Official Asked His Pilot, Dubiously Beginning A Flight To Baghdad, 'for Seeing That This Machine Is Not Overloaded?' 'that Will Have To Be Decided At The Inquest.

Obviously I'm Not Getting Much Sleep. You Guys Can See I'm Not Getting Much Sleep Right Now, But I'm Ok With That. I'm Ok With Not Sleeping To Be Able To Prepare Myself And Mentally Keep Myself Intact On What's The Main Objective For Me Right Now.

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.

The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me Was Losing Last Year In The Finals. I Had To Change.

This Is A Job And We Want To Have Fun. But It's A Job And We Should Look Like We're Going To Work.

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

I'm Going To Use All My Tools, My God-given Ability, And Make The Best Life I Can With It.

I Don't Let Individual Statistics Make Me A Focus Or More Of A Focus. I Just Tried To Come Out And Attack Early And Get A Big Lead. We Were Able To Take It In Overtime And Win.

I'm Confident With My Ability.

I Do Pilates And Yoga To Stay In Front Of The Curve. I Feel Like It's Helping Me. Does It Work For Everybody? I Don't Know. I'm Not A Guru On How To Be In The Best Condition. Let Me Sit Here And Tell You That. But It Works For Me.

I Went Through A Lot Of Battles In High School.

I Love Watching Track And Field - The 4x100 Relay, The 100-(meter) Dash, The 200-(meter) Dash. To See What They're Able To Do, I Love Watching That.

I Was So Used To Going Out And Winning State Championships And Playing In The Postseason.

We Played Well All The Way Until, Like, The Second Quarter.

Hollywood Dishes Out Too Much Praise For Small Things I Won't Let It Get Me, But Too Much Praise Can Turn A Fellow's Head If He Doesn't Watch His Step.

I Laugh And Joke, But I Don't Get Distracted Very Easily.

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.

Nba Championships

I Don't Want To Be Called A Point Guard, But I Can't Stop It.

When You Work Out Or You're Doing Anything Active, It's More Fun As A Group. You May Lose Track Of The Time, And The Next Thing You Know, You're Working Out For Two Hours Because You're Having Fun.

I'm Not About Saving Franchises.

Certain Money Is Not Always Good Money. It Could Be Just Being At The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time. I Mean, If You Have Your Priorities In Check Then For The Most Part It's Easy.

To All The Positions, I Just Bring The Determination To Win. Me Being An Unselfish Player, I Think That Can Carry On To My Teammates. When You Have One Of The Best Players On The Court Being Unselfish, I Think That Transfers To The Other Players.

I Like Criticism. It Makes You Strong.

There Is No Room For Donald Sterling In Our League - There Is No Room For Him.

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.

Nba Championships

I Can't Worry About What Other People Say.

There's No Reason To Play In The Nba If You Don't Believe You Can Win It All.

It's Hard To Win In The League, Because Every Team Is Good, They Got Players On Their Team. A Lot Harder Than High School. It's Competitive, And That's What I Most Love About It.

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

Don't Think For One Min That I Haven't Been Taking Mental Notes Of Everyone Taking Shots At Me This Summer. And I Mean Everyone!

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.

But I Get A Thrill Out Of Bringing A Group Together And Helping Them Reach A Place They Didn’t Know They Could Go. I See Myself As A Mentor Now And I’m Excited To Lead Some Of These Talented Young Guys.

It's Humbling To Know That You Have Fans All Over America And All Over The World And They Want You To Play On Their Respective Basketball Team. It's Very Humbling That They Respect The Way I Play The Game Of Basketball. I Can't Discredit That. I Can't Say I Don't Enjoy It Because You Put In A Lot Of Hard Work To Have Fans. And For Me To Be A Role Model And For Me To Have Fans All Over Is Great. It's Very Humbling.

You Have To Be Able To Accept Failure To Get Better.

My Dream Has Become A Reality Now, And It's The Best Feeling I've Ever Had.

I Assure You, You Will Never Survive On Your Wits Alone.

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

I'm Feeling Better After The Game Than I Did When I Came Off The Floor With Cramps. ... I Was Going To Try To Give It A Go, And 'spo Said 'no.' You Know, After I Came Out Of The Game, They Kind Of Took Off. And It Was Frustrating Sitting Out And Not Being Able To Help The Team.

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.

There's No Encyclopedia Or Book About Parenthood. You Learn On The Fly.

The Man Above Has Given Me Some Unbelievable Abilities To Play The Game Of Basketball. I Just Try To Take Advantage Of It Every Night. I Got The Trust Of My Teammates And My Coaching Staff To Go In There And Let It Go.

Volleyball, I Could Be Pretty Good. After A Few Practices I Could Be That Striker, Or Whatever They Call It.

I'm Not Promising A Championship. I Know How Hard That Is To Deliver. We're Not Ready Right Now.

But Now, Being A Parent, I Go Home And See My Son And I Forget About Any Mistake I Ever Made Or The Reason I'm Upset. I Get Home And My Son Is Smiling Or He Comes Running To Me. It Has Just Made Me Grow As An Individual And Grow As A Man.

I'm Under A Super Microscope. I've Got My Friends To Keep Me Cool. As Long As You've Got Friends, You've Got Nothing To Worry About.

I Was Blessed With A God-given Talent And My Mother Raised Me The Right Way.

Know That I'm Better Solo. I Invented Solo.

I Was Supposed To Take The Ball Out. I Told Coach, 'there's No Way I'm Taking The Ball Out, Unless I Can Shoot It Over The Backboard And It Goes In. I Told Him, 'have Somebody Else Take The Ball Out, Give Me The Ball, And Everybody Get Out Of The Way.'

My Game Is Really Played Above Time. I Don't Say That Like I'm Saying I'm Ahead Of My Time. I'm Saying, Like, If I'm On The Court And I Throw A Pass, The Ball That I've Thrown Will Lead My Teammate Right Where He Needs To Go, Before He Even Knows That That's The Right Place To Go To.

There Are Some Teams And Logos You See, No Matter Where You Are In The World, And You Know Exactly Who They Are And What They Mean.

A Lot Of Players Know How To Play The Game, But They Really Don't Know How To Play The Game, If You Know What I Mean. They Can Put The Ball In The Hoop, But I See Things Before They Even Happen. You Know How A Guy Can Make His Team So Much Better? That's One Thing I Learned From Watching Jordan.

Steph Is Scary. I've Never Seen Anyone Who Can Shoot The Ball Off The Dribble Like Him. He Got It Going In 4th. Every Game Is Different.

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

When I Got Back From The War In 1946 People Didn't Want The Mr. Smith Kind Of Movie Any More, And I Refused To Make War Pictures.

With That Locker Room I Could Sleep There After Games.

I Like To Get Out And Get Up The Court, Using My Speed And Aggressiveness Toward The Hoop.

Some Times Your Best Effort Just Isn't Good Enough.

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 Got A Goal, And It's A Huge Goal, And That's To Bring An Nba Championship Here To Cleveland, And I Won't Stop Until I Get It.

There's That Moment Every Morning When You Look In The Mirror: Are You Committed, Or Are You Not?

A Team Like Golden State, When They Get Into A Rhythm They Make Shots.

Nba Championships

As Loud As Fans Were , They Need To Go Home Now And Start Soaking Up A Lot Of Tea, Drinking A Lot Of Tea For The Next 36 Hours, Whatever The Case May Be, 'cause They Need To Be Just As Loud Thursday Night.

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.

Tonight We Had Our Chances But We Ran Out Of Talent.

Nba Championships

I Feel Confident Because I'm The Best Player In The World. It's That Simple.

I Spoil A Lot Of People With My Play. If You Have Three Bad Games In A Seven-year Career, People Are Going To Point That Out.

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.

Nba Championships

I Played Football For A Team Called The East Dragons On The East Side Of Town. We Only Had Six Regular Season Games. And Six Games I Played Tail Back And I Had 18 Touchdowns In Six Games. That's When I Knew I Had Some Athletic Ability.

We Have An Opportunity To Get Better.

I Just Do What I Got To Do And Go Out And Be Myself, On And Off The Court, And Take Care Of My Obligations. That's Generally Your Own Destiny-knowing What You Have To Take Care Of.

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.

We Lost One (finals), We Won Two And We Lost Another One. (we'll) Take 50 Percent In Four Years In Championships Any Day. Obviously, We Want To Win All Of Them, But That's Just The Nature Of The Game. Not Proud Of The Way We Played (in This Series).

Nba Championships

I Think, Team First. It Allows Me To Succeed, It Allows My Team To Succeed.

But I Mean, Even My Family Gets Spoiled At Times Watching Me Doing Things That I Do, On And Off The Court.

I Enjoy The Competition And Whatever It Takes Throughout The Competition, I Will Do It.

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

Just Wanted To Inspire My Teammates. Obviously, I Didn't Do Enough.

Nba Championships

Commitment Is A Big Part Of What I Am And What I Believe. How Committed Are You To Winning? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Friend? To Being Trustworthy? To Being Successful? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Father, A Good Teammate, A Good Role Model? There's That Moment Every Morning When You Look In The Mirror: Are You Committed, Or Are You Not?

I Do Have Motivation. A Lot Of Motivation.

Working With All Of These Kids Is Great. It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This, To Come Down And Inspire Kids Who Want To Play The Game Of Basketball And Put Smiles On Their Faces.

I Wouldn't Feel Good About It At All. At The End Of The Day I'm Here To Win A Team Prize, And That's To Win A Championship, Not An Individual Prize.

I Always Say, Decisions I Make, I Live With Them. There's Always Ways You Can Correct Them Or Ways You Can Do Them Better. At The End Of The Day, I Live With Them.

The End Of The Day

Basketball Is My Passion, I Love It. But My Family And Friends Mean Everything To Me. That's What's Important. I Need My Phone So I Can Keep In Contact With Them At All Times.

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

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

I Spoil A Lot Of People With My Play.

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.

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

I've Got Extra Motivation That I Won't Talk About Right Now.

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.

Being The Only Man In The Household With My Mom Definitely Helped Me Grow Up Fast.

You Have To Do What's Best For You And What's Going To Make You Happy At The End Of The Day, Because No One Can Live With The Consequences Or Anything That Comes With Your Decision Besides You.

The End Of The Day

I Never Get Too High On My Stardom Or What I Can Do.

To Be Honest, The Play That Was Drawn Up, I Scratched It. I Just Told Coach, 'give Me The Ball.' We're Either Going To Go To Overtime Or I'm Going To Win It For Us. It Was That Simple.

There Are Always People Always Asking You For Something. But I Feel Like I Have A Foundation. I Have A Supporting Cast Where It Doesn't Bother Me Too Much.

Teams Make It Tough On Us, We Make It Tough On Them. When You Have Two Well Coached Teams That Wanna Win, It's Going To Be A Competitive Game.

I've Always Been An Unselfish Guy, And That's The Only Way I Know How To Play On The Court And I Try To Play To The Maximum Of My Ability - Not Only For Myself But For My Team-mates.

The Same Way You Slow Me Down: … You Can’t.

You Know, God Gave Me A Gift To Do Other Things Besides Play The Game Of Basketball.

My Father Wasn't Around When I Was A Kid, And I Used To Always Say, 'why Me? Why Don't I Have A Father? Why Isn't He Around? Why Did He Leave My Mother?' But As I Got Older I Looked Deeper And Thought, 'i Don't Know What My Father Was Going Through, But If He Was Around All The Time, Would I Be Who I Am Today?'

It's Always A Struggle Growing Up In Akron.

The Best Teacher In Life Is Experience.

Maybe My Pain Was My Motivation.

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.

We Don't Want To Get Frustrated Because It Sticks In Your Mind Too Much. We Have To Work At It And See What We Did Wrong.

I Mean, When You Grow Up In The Inner City And You Grow Up In A Single-parent Household, That's - Those Are Humbling Times, You Know?

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

I Am Just Happy To Be Part Of The Nike Family.

I'm Ready To Accept The Challenge. I'm Coming Home.

My Childhood Was Never Great. We Moved From Place To Place A Lot. There Were Times When We Had No Definite Place To Stay. So, A Basic Level Of Security Was Not Always There. Therefore, When You Finally Make It Out, And You Become Who I Am, You're Humbled By The Memories Of Those Situations.

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

My Mom And I Have Always Been There For Each Other. We Had Some Tough Times, But She Was Always There For Me.

A Team Can't Work When A Guy Puts Himself In Front Of A Team. I Have Yet To Be On A Team Like That.

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. We've Talked It Out. Everybody Makes Mistakes. I've Made Mistakes As Well. Who Am I To Hold A Grudge?

That's What Keeps Me Humble Because I Know My Background, Know What My Mother Went Through. I Never Get Too High On My Stardom Or What I Can Do. My Mom Always Says And My Friends All Say, ’you're Just A Very Low-maintenance Guy’. I Don't Need Too Much. Glamour And All That Stuff Don't Excite Me. I Am Just Glad I Have The Game Of Basketball In My Life.

It All Depends On How You Want To Define What An Mvp Is. I've Been Fortunate To Win The Trophy Four Times, But I've Been The Mvp Of My Team For A Long Time - Just Because Of The Way I Lead And The Way I Approach Us Being Professionals Off The Floor.

When You Have That Respect From Your Teammates, It Makes It A Lot More Comfortable.

Commitment Is A Big Part Of What I Am And What I Believe. How Committed Are You To Winning? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Friend?

It's Not Just Straight-line Speed. He's Got The Agility And The Quickness To Go With It. His Vision On The Field Is Phenomenal. It Just Opens The Playbook So Much As A Coach That I'm Really Looking Forward To It.

I've Put Our Guys In Position. I Gave Them The Blueprint. I Think They're Ready.

I'm Very Good At Noticing Talent. I Knew He Was Special Then And Obviously He Is Now.

I'm Going To Be One Of The Top Four That's Ever Played This Game, For Sure. And If They Don't Want Me To Have One Of Those Top Four Spots, They'd Better Find Another Spot On That Mountain. Somebody's Gotta Get Bumped, But That's Not For Me To Decide. That's For The Architects.

If You Put Everything Together As Far As My Mind, My Body, My Game. If You Put Everything In One Bottle, This Is Probably The Best I've Been.

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

As A Parent, If You Have Multiple Kids, You Can't Teach Them All The Same Thing Because They All Have Different Personalities. They're Their Own Person.

Once You Become A Professional Athlete Or Once You Do Anything Well, Then You're Automatically A Role Model ... I Have No Problem Being A Role Model. I Love It. I Have Kids Looking Up To Me And Hopefully I Inspire These Kids To Do Good Things.

D-wade Is The Unselfish Guy Here-he Is Welcoming Chris Bosh And Lebron James To His Team.

For Me, Already Being Part Of A Single Parent Household And Knowing It Was Just Me And My Mom, You'd Would Wake Up Times And Hope That The Next Day You'd Be Able To Be Alongside Your Mother Because She Was Out Trying To Make Sure That I Was Taken Care Of. But All I Cared About Was Her Being Home.

I Think The Reason Why I'm The Person Who I Am Today Is Because I Went Through Those Tough Times When I Was Younger.

We Defended. We Made Them Keep Tough Shots, And We Executed Offensively.

Nba Championships

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 Don't Want To Be Kobe, I Want To Be Lebron.

Well, I Mean, To Me, I Think My Ultimate - My Ultimate Goal Is Winning Championships And - And I Understand That Me Going Down As One Of The Greats Will Not Happen Until I, You Know, Win A Championship.

I'm Just Blessed That I Was Able To Have Guys Around Me That Had Some Of The Same Goals. The Man Above Gave Me A Gift And He Gave Me Friends And A Mentor That Can Help Me Reach My Goal And Reach My Potential. And We All Had The Same Goal, So It Wasn't Hard For Us To Get, You Know, Off Track Because We All Wanted The Same Thing.

I Hope I Can Help Guys Coming Out Of High School, If They Need Advice. I Know The Ins And Outs Of Everything.

Your Teammates Give You The Confidence. They Give Me The Confidence All Year, All Postseason.

I Just Bring The Determination To Win.

Cleveland Fans Are Awesome.

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

Before Anyone Ever Cared Where I Would Play Basketball, I Was A Kid From Northeast Ohio. It’s Where I Walked. It’s Where I Ran. It’s Where I Cried. It’s Where I Bled. It Holds A Special Place In My Heart.

I'm Just A Little Kid From Akron.
