I didn't think we'd get to this point that we're at now, but I was ready to lead If we got to this point.
I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.
There are moments where we forgot what got us to where we are now. ... We stopped moving the ball. We know how it works. We are playing a great team with great players, and we've got to be close to perfect to win.
I don't think we'll shoot 76 percent in a half ever again. That's crazy.
They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.
I'm pleased that they performed as well as they did while we've been in Miami and that's about as far as it goes. Now, we've got to go home and play as well or better.
They played great and I can honestly say I don't think any of us were expecting this type of performance. They were great. You have to give them credit for that.
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.
Just wanted to inspire my teammates. Obviously, I didn't do enough.
They played exquisite basketball in this series and in particular these last three games. They are the better team. There is no other way to say it. They played great basketball, and we couldn't respond to it.
We lost one (Finals), we won two and we lost another one. (We'll) take 50 percent in four years in championships any day. Obviously, we want to win all of them, but that's just the nature of the game. Not proud of the way we played (in this series).
I felt like we would have definitely won an NBA championship if everyone was healthy.
Everyone knows Jordan as a winner, and that's what I want to be known as at the end of my playing career. Someone who's won multiple NBA Championships and has made a difference in the NBA.
When hired three years ago, I willingly accepted the challenge of leading the Bulls back to the type of team this city richly deserves. I'm proud of the fact that each year the team has taken another step toward an NBA championship, and played with intense pride and determination.
All 14 guys on the team have sacrificed something to get to this point.
'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.
We had a lot of luck this year and our guys took advantage. Wow. What a night.
I want to say congratulations to Cleveland and Coach Blatt. LeBron is an incredible player.
Guarding LeBron James has to be the hardest job in basketball.
We have to continue at a high level and make them take tough shots.
The group of guys I have... They are playing off straight motivation.
Steve held us to a high standard. He told us he was going to when we first met him at the USA camp. He's been a great leader. I mean, the guy always keeps his composure. He has an amazing mind for the game, and man, Steve, I'm just proud of him. The way he's balanced everybody and let us know what our roles are, he's been great for us. Him and the whole coaching staff. We all deserve this together, we work so hard.
LeBron doesn't have any weaknesses, or he doesn't have a glaring weakness. So you've got to pick up on the smaller things to try to make him uncomfortable. Like knowing which side he likes to shoot threes off the dribble, which side he likes to drive. One side he'll drive left more often, and the other side he'll drive right more often.
It was an honor to coach him. He should be proud of what he did this year.
