Some quotes from the post game press conference
Quote:
Q: Can you just tell us, as you had the game wrapped up during the last few minutes, what was going through your mind and does it feel as good as you envisioned it might winning your first championship in the NBA?
Brown: I haven't been through 48 minutes like that. You know, I've always enjoyed the moment. The bigger the game, the more I enjoyed it, but the way this group came together, you know, with Rasheed coming late and losing quality people, this was a strange night. I had no idea what it would feel like.
But I remember Chuck Daly told me something one day, that when you finally do win one, you won't appreciate it until you're driving down the highway one day and you'll get a big grin on your face. I had that feeling when I coached Kansas later on. I'm sure I'm going to have it now.
You know, it's about players. This sport is about players playing the right way and showing kids that you can be a team and be successful, and it's great for our league.

Q: What will you say to Rasheed when you're with him in Philly?
Hamilton: I already told him, I'm going to have to take your whole family for ransom if you think about leaving here. They won't see you in Philly or Portland no more. This is something special. We did everything possible to keep him here, everybody loves him, he loves the City of Detroit and he loves the guys in that locker room and that's all you ask for.

Q: Looking over at some guys who won the MVP the last 11, 12 years: Jordan, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Duncan. How does it feel to have your name mentioned in the same breath?
Billups: It's unbelievable. Really, I'm just speechless, man. I've dreamed of this opportunities all my life, and the way my career had gone, it seemed like my chance was kind of drifting away. But I never gave up. I never gave up on what I felt I could do. And what I felt could I do is win the Championship and have a chance to win this trophy right here. You know, God is good, man. God is definitely good.
