"Everybody has their own desires."
"It wasn't that I knew Kyrie wanted to be traded or not, or him and LeBron had a beef. I don't know any of those things."
"What bothered me more than if LeBron left or not was that I didn't think they had great assets if you have to do a rebuild. It was more that than Bron. Bron and I have always had an amazing relationship."
"I love my life. I love this ESPN thing; it's been fun."
"That's kind of been my entire career, the stress and pressure."
"I can remember me and my cousin always fighting. He was a big Bulls and Michael Jordan guy."
"For me, I think Andre Drummond is going to be a superstar. We didn't have that. We had a lot of very good players. I think Drummond will be a superstar if he continues to work. The media, everyone is behind him."

"I think the most important position in the league now is the point guard."

"I persevered, sustained, and continued to work hard and finally got my opportunity in Detroit, and I never turned back from that point. That's what made it so sweet to me to win a championship after what I went through. I had to scrap and fight to get through it, and to reach the pinnacle made it even sweeter."
"I wanted to be one of the best players of my era at my position. And I did that, and I earned that. No one gave that to me. I earned every single thing."
"I got into a lot of fights, but it wasn't because of my name. Being from the neighborhood with a name like Chauncey, people think I got picked on. But a lot of strange names come out of the neighborhood."
