Political Quotes

On the recordJune 21, 2016
As I stand in my wine and gold and black today, I quote the words of LeBron James, in Cleveland, ``nothing is given. Everything is earned.'' I rise today to congratulate our 2016 NBA champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers. They earned it. Facing a 3-1 series deficit, the Cavaliers beat all the odds. Led by LeBron James, the team quieted all doubters and brought home the Larry O'Brien Trophy. It was historic, something that had never been done in the history of the NBA. Cleveland's victory ended the city's 52-year championship drought, the longest in professional sports history. No city has witnessed as many heartbreaking moments in sports. But not this time, Mr. Speaker. This time, it was our time. Over those 52 years, our fans never wavered, never lost hope. We always believed. Mr. Speaker, the wait is over. Victory is ours. Congratulations to the NBA world champion Cleveland Cavaliers. ____________________
