So many great basketball players haven't won championships before, and they're still great. But that's what people judge you by.
The atmosphere was unbelievable. This must be what playoff basketball is all about.
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.
I never thought basketball was going to be my future. I just wanted to play because it gets you girls.
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.
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.
They continue to criticize me for my outside shooting, but I continue to make outside shots.
No place is better than Akron.
I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.
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.
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.
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 love seeing my teammates succeed. That's what I get more excited about than anything
