We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.

What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.

I love basketball and I'm committed to it, but if I have to lock up my spirit because of basketball, it ain't worth it.

I think you can get too focused on the championship and forget how rewarding it is to be part of a team.

I don't think coaches should have to wear mic's. It is an invasion of privacy. We are trying to accomplish things, and wearing microphones may hinder development by straining the nature of relationships coaches and players have.

I know that to be a good player, you have to stay healthy, and you have to be as athletic as you can possibly be.

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.
