I never thought basketball was going to be my future. I just wanted to play because it gets you girls.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

I just bring the determination to win.

I'm a leader. I'm the leader of this team, and they look for me at any point in the game, and that's not just scoring-wise, I do other things.

I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.

You know, softball is the other sport I do besides basketball.

I took Hedo (Turkoglu) in the first game and Rashard (Lewis) hit the winning shot. I took Rashard in the second game and Hedo hit the shot. If I could clone myself, we'd be all right. But I can't.
