This is a proud moment for our city. This is the first time we have won a Finals game in this city, and I'm happy to be part of the history.

That's all our team is about. If we stop people, we're the most athletic team in this whole tournament and we can get out and get easy buckets.

I can't play the game of basketball and live my life on what other people expect me to do or what they think I should do. That doesn't make me happy. What makes me happy is being able to make plays for my teammates, to be able to represent the name on the back of my jersey.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

It all depends on how you want to define what an MVP is. I've been fortunate to win the trophy four times, but I've been the MVP of my team for a long time - just because of the way I lead and the way I approach us being professionals off the floor.

The Greater Man upstairs know when it's my time. Right now isn't the time.

The best option for me to do was not to move. I tried, and any little nudge or step, it the cramping would get worse. It was the whole left leg ... nearly the whole left side. ... I drank a lot of fluids at halftime. I even changed my uniform.
