I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.
I went through a lot of battles in high school.
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.
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.
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'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 a lot of talent sitting in suits.
That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.
Tonight we had our chances but we ran out of talent.
The same way you slow me down. You can't.
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.
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.
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 this city, but I don't get caught up in it. I just try to go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and my franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.
I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.
