A lot of people were saying that I was a selfish person and a selfish player. You know, it got to me.

You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.

That's crazy, because I had no idea what the word 'contraction' meant before I saw it on the Internet.

Basketball isn't easy. All my life I've been striving to make myself better. It's a full time commitment. To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option, and when you feel like you've reached your limit, it's only the beginning, that's when the time to dig deep, to find the courage to push some more, because if you've got the drive, the discipline, and the resolve to do what it takes to make yourself great, then the rewards are endless.

People who say "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" never felt a broken heart.

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.

That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.
