We are very confident. We are winning ball games...We are playing well defensively and we are executing our offense. We feel very confident and we have to keep it going.
We didn't want to get blown out on national TV. I just wanted to be assertive and just try to hit the open shots and drive to the basket, which I'm always capable of doing. So the MVP was never in my mind; just winning the ballgame.
If my team gets better and my points drop, I'll love it. If my team gets better, or if I have to sacrifice phases of my game, I will. Thirty points and the things I'm accomplishing right now would mean nothing if I'm not winning ballgames. Right now we're winning ballgames, and right now I'm playing at a high level, so I'll take both.
I learn from winning, because it's much easier to point out things when you lose. But I think the alternate competitors can point out a lot of things when you win.
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.
I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.
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.
And winning is a huge thing for me.
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.
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.
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.
There's no reason to play in the NBA if you don't believe you can win it all.
The only thing on my mind right now is trying to win the whole thing.
I expect us to win. I expect us to get better every day.
