"That's it, 4th ring. It's really incredible. As I was saying in the locker room earlier, it's the sweetest title. The way we lost last year, leading by 5 with 28sec to go, was cruel. As I always say, in sports, sometimes it can be really tough, but it can also be wonderful. And now, it's wonderful. It shows what kind of team we are. Losing like we did last year but still managing to come back and beating this team of Miami, it's strong.
In 2012, we lost in Conference Finals against OKC. In 2013, it was in the Finals against the Heat, but now we finally got it! Sport is incredible. You try to understand, but you never know when you'll win. It's the same thing with the French team. Who could have say that we would win in 2013? That's what makes sports beautiful. I don't try to understand. We try to play the game the same way every time. Moving the ball. Defending. And we played 2 very big games on the road. It might be the best games of our history, because it's not easy winning back to back games on the road, especially against the defending Champs.
We're making history. We were discussing it with Tim and Manu. It's hard to put words on this 4th title for me. When you look at the list and check who already won 4 titles, it's a very short list. When I see my names next to all of them, it's really hard to realize. I tell myself that I'm living incredible moments. And I'm trying to make the best of it.
It is unbelievable for Boris. I'm very happy for him because it's his first. He must be going crazy because the first title is always special. We grew up together, dreamed of NBA together, went to the INSEP together, were classmates and roommates for many years. Winning the European title and the NBA title with your childhood friend is really amazing. I would never have imagined my career to be like this. I'm enjoying it now!"
