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.

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.

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.

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.

Nba Championships

All The People That Were Rooting On Me To Fail, At The End Of The Day, They Have To Wake Up Tomorrow And Have The Same Life That They Had Before They Woke Up Today. They Have The Same Personal Problems They Had Today. I'm Going To Continue To Live The Way I Want To Live And Continue To Do The Things That I Want To Do With Me And My Family And Be Happy With That. They Can Get A Few Days Or A Few Months Or Whatever The Case May Be On Being Happy About Not Only Myself, But The Miami Heat Not Accomplishing Their Goal.

We Have To Continue At A High Level And Make Them Take Tough Shots.

Nba Championships

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

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

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

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 Like Being Around People.

I Spoil A Lot Of People With My Play.

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

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.

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

When I Miss You, Sometimes I Listen To Music Or Look At Pictures Of You, Not To Remind Me Of You But To Make Me Feel As If I'm With You. It Makes Me Forget The Distance And Capture You.

Missing Someone

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.

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.

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

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

The End Of The Day

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

Nba Championships

I'm Like A Superhero. Call Me Basketball Man.

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.

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.

I Expect Us To Win. I Expect Us To Get Better Every Day.

I Never Rushed The Fact That I Wanted To Be In The Nba Or Rushed The Fact, You Know, They Asked Me About The Nba. I Always (unintelligible) Back To The Fact That I Just Love Playing With My Teammates.

Cleveland Fans Are Awesome.

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.

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.

This Is A Proud Moment For Our City. This Is The First Time We Have Won A Finals Game In This City, And I'm Happy To Be Part Of The History.

Nba Championships

The Group Of Guys I Have... They Are Playing Off Straight Motivation.

Nba Championships

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?'

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

Where I Grew Up - I Grew Up On The North Side Of Akron, Lived In The Projects. So Those Scared And Lonely Nights - That's Every Night. You Hear A Lot Of Police Sirens, You Hear A Lot Of Gunfire. Things That You Don't Want Your Kids To Hear Growing Up.

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

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

You Can't Be Afraid To Fail. It's The Only Way You Succeed - You're Not Gonna Succeed All The Time, And I Know That.

I Never Thought Basketball Was Going To Be My Future. I Just Wanted To Play Because It Gets You Girls.

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.

Crazy. Karma Is A B****. Gets You Every Time. Its Not Good To Wish Bad On Anybody. God Sees Everything!

It's A Humbling Experience For Me To Be In This Position.

Humbling Experiences

I Just Bring The Determination To Win.

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!

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.

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

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'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.

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?

We Have An Opportunity To Get Better.

I've Always Been A Leader. I've Always Kind Of Been The Tallest Person On The Team When I Was Younger But Always Kind Of The Smartest. I Was Ahead Of My Time. I Wasn't Always The Oldest, I Kind Of Was The Youngest On The Team, But, I Kind Of Knew What To Do At Times.

I'm Taking My Talents To South Beach.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

You Know, My Family And Friends Have Never Been Yes-men: 'yes, You're Doing The Right Thing, You're Always Right.' No, They Tell Me When I'm Wrong, And That's Why I've Been Able To Stay Who I Am And Stay Humble.

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

My Relationship With Northeast Ohio Is Bigger Than Basketball. I Didn't Realize That Four Years Ago. I Do Now.

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?

Losing A Basketball Game Hurts But When You See What You've Been Through, You Look On It And Say Well If This Is The Worst Thing That Can Happen To Me, Then I'm Okay.

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.

Nba Championships

We Aren't Comfortable. We Are Not Satisfied. We Have To Stay Even-keeled.

I Need Music. It's Like My Heartbeat, So To Speak. It Keeps Me Going No Matter What's Going On - Bad Games, Press, Whatever!

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.

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

I Started Thinking About What It Would Be Like To Raise My Family In My Hometown. I Looked At Other Teams, But I Wasn't Going To Leave Miami For Anywhere Except Cleveland. The More Time Passed, The More It Felt Right. This Is What Makes Me Happy.

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

It's Always A Struggle Growing Up In Akron.

If It Wasn't For The Determination And The Will Power We Have In Each Other, We Wouldn't Have Pulled Through And Got This Win. Much Respect To Spain, But The U.s. Is Back On Top Again.

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.

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.

There Is A Lot Of Pressure Put On Me, But I Don't Put A Lot Of Pressure On Myself. I Feel If I Play My Game, It Will Take Care Of Itself.

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.

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.

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

Deceiving Others

But Sports Carried Me Away From Being In A Gang, Or Being Associated With Drugs. Sports Was My Way Out.

With That Locker Room I Could Sleep There After Games.

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.

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.

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.

Akron, Ohio, Is My Home. It Will Always Be Remembered. Akron, Ohio, Is My Life.

I've Given These Guys The Blueprint On How To Win A Premiership, Now I Just Have To Be Patient Until They're Ready.

As A Professional Athlete A Lot Is Going To Be Said About You - But I Just Try To Move Forward And Try To Achieve My Goals.

I Have Short Goals - To Get Better Every Day, To Help My Teammates Every Day - But My Only Ultimate Goal Is To Win An Nba Championship. It's All That Matters. I Dream About It. I Dream About It All The Time, How It Would Look, How It Would Feel. It Would Be So Amazing.

Nba Championships

You Know, When I Have A Bad Game, It Continues To Humble Me And Know That, You Know, You Still Have Work To Do And You Still Have A Lot Of People To Impress.

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.

I Hate Letting My Teammates Down. I Know I'm Not Going To Make Every Shot. Sometimes I Try To Make The Right Play, And If It Results In A Loss, I Feel Awful. I Don't Feel Awful Because I Have To Answer Questions About It. I Feel Awful In That Locker Room Because I Could Have Done Something More To Help My Teammates Win.

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.

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.

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.

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

I Might Play In Shorts, But I Wear The Pants.

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.

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.

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

A Friend Told Me 'i Guess You Gotta Go Through A Lot Of Nightmares, Before You Finally, You Know, Accomplish Your Dreams.

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 Was A Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan Fan Growing Up.

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

I Have A Responsibility To Lead, In More Ways Than One, And I Take That Very Seriously.

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

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.

I Hear My Friends And My Mom Tell Me I'm Special, But Honestly, I Still Don't Get It.

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

You Become A Champion As A Team. I Understand That. I Know The History Of The Game.

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

I Make Impact Plays. I Make Game-changing Plays.
