  • A LeBron James team is never desperate.
  • I'm only one guy. I took Hedo [Türkoğlu] 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.
  • It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them. … I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.
  • This fall, and this was a very tough decision for me, but this fall I will be taking my talents to South Beach and play with the Miami Heat.
  • Crazy. Karma is a bitch. Gets you every time. It's not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!
  • All the people that were rooting for me to fail… at the end of the day, tomorrow they have to wake up and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. … They got the same personal problems they had today. And I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things I want to do.
  • No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough.
