It puts a smile on my face to be compared to a legend. Year by year, as you play basketball, you've got to know the history of the game.
Eight years is a long time. To experience that in his first year and then wait another eight years to get back, it's tough for him. You have to feel excited for him. It's awesome.
We want to be an elite team and we have to learn how. The feeling I had last year at this time is totally different. It is a whole different environment this year. He (Brown) knows what I want from the team and I know what he wants.
I don't want to make an excuse. But the core guys that we had with us at the beginning of the year are not with us right now. We have to fight through it and get better and just keep working hard.
Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.
When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, 'Don't get comfortable, because we may not be here long.'
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.
The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.
But put my body through a lot, you know, but it's the price for your body feeling this way for winning. Did I win? I didn't win a championship, but I've done a lot of good things in this first year back, and hopefully I can continue it.
My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now.
We just made the big play at the end. We just willed a way to win. This was one of the wildest games, especially on the road. But I love it. Being on the road, you got the fans against you and we found a way to win. It was awesome.
We got stops and made shots when it counted. When you hold a team to 38 percent from the field you give yourself a pretty good chance of winning.
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're very excited. We came here to win two games, not one.
