No place is better than Akron.

I've put our guys in position. I gave them the blueprint. I think they're ready.

I've given these guys the blueprint on how to win a premiership, now I just have to be patient until they're ready.

I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.

A team can't work when a guy puts himself in front of a team. I have yet to be on a team like that.

I've been watching basketball for a long time, I'm a historian of the game. I don't know any other team that's gotten to the Finals without two All-Stars... I cannot remember thinking of it. I don't even know if it's ever happened, for a team to lose two All-Stars and still be able to make it to the Finals.
