All that's missing for Utah is a blindfold and a cigarette.
I signed a contract with Phil Jackson, the man who has more championship rings, as far as I know, than anybody else. He was the best guy we thought we could find to run the New York Knicks.
Personal honors never meant much to Bill Russell, one of America's most successful athletes with 2 college titles, 1 Olympic gold medal and 11 - count 'em, 11 - N.B.A. championships with the Boston Celtics.
If that's the last image of Michael Jordan...how magnificent is it!?
When the Heat were put together, there was talk of going undefeated. They didn't get off to a great start, but they found a way to win back-to-back championships.
They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.
I want to be just like Steph when I grow up.
I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
I will have Derek Fisher wear all 5 of his rings the first time he comes in to talk to Carmelo.
Magic Johnson was my favorite player growing up.
During one of the 4th quarter huddles, LeBron said to him, 'It doesn't matter what happens to this point. No one is going to remember how many points you had or what type of game you had. Just help us make some plays to win this thing.' And he made some big plays.
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.
But put my body through a lot, you know, but it's the price for your body feeling this way for winning. Did I win? I didn't win a championship, but I've done a lot of good things in this first year back, and hopefully I can continue it.
That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.
I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.
'Stay with it' was our coach's motto. That's what we did. This is unreal!
Not even thinking about anything. My mind is a blank. We just want to enjoy the moment.
Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.
All 14 guys on the team have sacrificed something to get to this point.
We've been able to handle any team that you guys put in front of us. We've had confidence since day one. ... We feel like any team we play against, we've got what it takes to put ourselves in a position to win.
Our team, because of our depth and our talent, we were able to do that, and it turned into a special season as a result.
These fans here are unbelievable. They showed up and showed out tonight. We needed every little bit of it.
The group of guys I have... They are playing off straight motivation.
Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.
A team like Golden State, when they get into a rhythm they make shots.
