I won at every level - all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I've won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won't be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.

I'm feeling better after the game than I did when I came off the floor with cramps. ... I was going to try to give it a go, and 'Spo said 'No.' You know, after I came out of the game, they kind of took off. And it was frustrating sitting out and not being able to help the team.

The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, 'OK, I don't want to deal with these people ever again.' But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I've met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We've talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I've made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?

I'm under a super microscope. I've got my friends to keep me cool. As long as you've got friends, you've got nothing to worry about.

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

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.
