It was one of those nights where you come out and you just don't bring it. This is what happens. These guys (with the Magic) are in the NBA just like we are, and this is what happens when you don't bring it.
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.
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.
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 feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.
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 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 enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.
We have to continue at a high level and make them take tough shots.
