LeBron James Championships Quotations

I have short goals - to get better every day, to help my teammates every day - but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.

I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it.

My family is happy. That makes my job a lot easier. For the fans, I try to put it all out there on the floor.

I don't know any other other team that got to the finals without two all stars.

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.

But then I lock back in and I start thinking about how fun it is to compete during the playoffs and the first round, the second round, and Eastern Conference Finals. If I'm lucky enough to get here again, it will be fun to do it.

It just wasn't our time.

We lost one, 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.

Just wanted to inspire my teammates. Obviously, I didn't do enough.

They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.

The best option for me to do was not to move. I tried, and any little nudge or step, it the cramping would get worse. It was the whole left leg ... nearly the whole left side. ... I drank a lot of fluids at halftime. I even changed my uniform.

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.

Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.

We did what we are supposed to. We protected home. We have to try to do it again Thursday night.

We aren't comfortable. We are not satisfied. We have to stay even-keeled.

This is a proud moment for our city. This is the first time we have won a Finals game in this city, and I'm happy to be part of the history.

These fans here are unbelievable. They showed up and showed out tonight. We needed every little bit of it.

You lose in the Finals, they're all disappointing. Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami, Cleveland or on Mars. You lose the Finals, it's disappointing.

We ran out of talent tonight. The guys played as hard as they could, as long as we could.

If I could have gave more, I would have done it. I gave everything I had

We defended. We made them keep tough shots, and we executed offensively.

A team like Golden State, when they get into a rhythm they make shots.

Steph is scary. I've never seen anyone who can shoot the ball off the dribble like him. He got it going in 4th. Every game is different.

Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.

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.

The group of guys I have... They are playing off straight motivation.

We have to continue at a high level and make them take tough shots.

I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

Tonight we had our chances but we ran out of talent.

That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.

It's a lot of talent sitting in suits.

Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.
