Congratulations on winning the championship.
That is very exciting.
>> Wow, thank you. Thank you so much.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Is this-
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> I think I know the answer to this, but
did it feel different this time?
Was this different?
>> Yeah, it felt a lot different.
Just two years ago I decided to go back home.
And my main goal was to bring a championship to a place that hadn't seen
one in over 50 plus years.
And to be able to bring it back to the home town and do something that a lot of
people didn't expect but we believed in, it meant everything.
>> Yeah, congratulations, really.
It was very, very exciting.
So you went away.
That looked like one of those pictures you were on a boat.
Did you go?
Where'd you go this summer?
>> I was in Italy this past summer.
>> Yeah. >> I had a great time with a couple
friends and family of mine and just did a little celebrating.
>> Now when you stop, cuz you have to train constantly when you're playing, but
when you're on vacation, do you work out at all?
>> A little bit?
>> You do? >> [LAUGH]
>> Like what?
How often do you work out?
>> Every day. >> [LAUGH]
>> That's a little bit?
>> Yeah, I try to take off.
The gym calls me at night.
It's like, I'll be sleeping and it's like, Lebron.
>> [LAUGH] >> Come here now.
We're waiting on you.
>> Wow.
Yeah, we all feel like that about it.
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, right, right.
>> All of us have that feeling.
So you just resigned, you're gonna stay with, and you signed a big deal contract.
>> Yeah. Yeah,
you're the highest paid basketball player that has ever been.
>> That's what they say.
>> Yep. >> That's what they say.
>> [LAUGH]
>> Congratulations
on that. >> Thank you.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> So-
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Steph Curry,
who you beat, is gonna be here next week.
>> Wow. >> He seems like a lovely guy.
Is there anything that- do you know him well?
>> He's definitely, he's a great guy, he's a fierce competitor, I'll tell you that.
So don't get fooled by that smile when he come up here.
>> [LAUGH] >> If any of y'all played basketball or
golf, he's gonna try to take it
from you, so- >> [LAUGH]
>> Don't be a fool.
For me, I think the best thing for me is that we're two of the most
talked about athletes in the world and we are both born in Akron, Ohio.
So that means a lot to me.
>> It's a new season so we wanted to play a brand new game and
I'm gonna challenge you to the ultimate waste basket challenge.
And here's what's gonna happen.
You and I are gonna take turns shooting for the basket.
It's in a Roomba thing, so they're gonna move a lot.
And for every basket that I make, you take a shot of vodka.
And for every basket, which is not gonna be a lot.
>> [LAUGH] >> And for
every basket you miss, I take a shot of vodka.
Don't miss on purpose.
>> [LAUGH] >> This-
>> Take your jacket off so
you can shoot better.
>> Okay, let's.
All right.
>> [NOISE] >> All right.
>> I'll start first.
>> Okay.

>> [NOISE] >> All right.
>> So I got the gold looking one.
>> Yes, the gold one.
>> [NOISE] >> Does that mean I gotta-
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
>> [NOISE] >> I almost had to take one.
>> I know. >> I thought that was the one.
>> I know. >> So if I miss this you gotta take
another shot?
>> Yeah don't miss it.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE] >> [NOISE]
>> [MUSIC]
You sure?
[MUSIC]
>> [NOISE] >> You take a shot.
>> [LAUGH] >> I should, after I miss one I-
[MUSIC]
[NOISE] >> [LAUGH]
[APPLAUSE]
>> That was a set up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [COUGH]
>> [LAUGH]
>> Too close.
>> [NOISE] >> It's the shirt.
>> [LAUGH]
[APPLAUSE]
>> [COUGH] I don't wanna shoot it so
far away.
>> Yeah, don't miss.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[LAUGH]
[APPLAUSE]
>> All right.
>> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND] >> All right,
