Post-game reaction after the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors 93-89 on Sunday, 19 June, to win the NBA championship.

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward:

"For me, I'm true to the game, and I know what I bring to the table. I came back for a reason. I came back to bring a championship to our city. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone, and I knew if I had to -- when I came back, I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we've never been. That's what it was all about. Right now it's just excitement. It's not even relief. It's just excitement for us as a team, as a franchise, as a city, as a community. To be able to continue to build up our city, to continue to be an inspiration to our city, it means everything. I'm happy to be a part of it."

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward:

"I'll take my chances versus anybody, versus any team. You give me one game, you give me 48 minutes, I'll take my chances. Once we got to a Game 7, I was just confident. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew my guys would allow me to lead them throughout the 48 minutes, and they did that."

SOUNDBITE (English): Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers Guard:

"I just tried to live in (the moment) and really just enjoy it as much as possible, but also have a very, very solid mindset that if we stick to our game plan and we limit our mistakes out there on the floor against a great team like this, we'll be all right. Attacking matchups. It really came down to just both teams playing extremely hard, and there was a victory at the end of the game. And if there could ever be another Game 7 like this in the NBA Finals for all, end all, I hope that I'm either playing in it or I'm watching something historic like that. So I'm just really thankful to be a part of history like this and it to be done with the group that I have in that locker room and us making history and etching our names forever in NBA history."
