What he wants more than anything else is to be part of a championship team. It would have been the case with any of the teams. It was a tough decision. They all have an opportunity to win, but he just felt that the Spurs were the best fit for him.

I grew up there, and it seems like the best place to me - somewhere where you know everything. Where you know where all the roads go.

I can't say there was. Michael took his time and met with all the teams last week. He took the weekend to sort of sit back and evaluate everything. He narrowed it down and just decided San Antonio was the best fit for him.

The money was one of the factors he looked at but in the end the most important thing was the opportunity to win a championship and to have a significant role in that. When it came down to those factors, the Spurs were the best fit.
