I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

I've been watching basketball for a long time, I'm a historian of the game. I don't know any other team that's gotten to the Finals without two All-Stars... I cannot remember thinking of it. I don't even know if it's ever happened, for a team to lose two All-Stars and still be able to make it to the Finals.

That's one of my biggest obstacles. I'm afraid of failure. I want to succeed so bad that I become afraid of failing.

You lose in the Finals, they're all disappointing. Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami, Cleveland or on Mars. You lose the Finals, it's disappointing.

The group of guys I have... They are playing off straight motivation.

In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.

Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.
