Once you're in the game, you forget about everything.

I'm not skilled enough to explain properly how we feel. Not only me, but I'm sure Tony and Tim and Pop feel the same way. Last year was a tough one for all of us. We felt like we had the trophy, that we were touching it, and it slipped away. We all felt guilty. We got to this spot, and we didn't let it go.

I know my game. I know what I like to do.

You never know what will be expected of you, so you just go out and play.

It's a different thing when you play on a team that has to win, that doesn't consider it a good year unless you win the championship

Winning an NBA championship is the biggest thing that can happen professionally because it's the top. But representing your country-with more than 30 million people cheering for you and then seeing you up there on the podium-it's hard to find any more words to put on that.

Once I step on the court in San Antonio, I feel the support in the air.
