I don't really get involved in it, the whole thing. I understand how important this city is and what I mean to this city and what our team means to the city... but I don't get caught up into it. I just go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and this franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.

I'm a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

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

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

I love seeing my teammates succeed. That's what I get more excited about than anything

You have to do what's best for you and what's going to make you happy at the end of the day, because no one can live with the consequences or anything that comes with your decision besides you.
