A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don't know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That's one thing I learned from watching Jordan.

Working with all of these kids is great. It doesn't get any better than this, to come down and inspire kids who want to play the game of basketball and put smiles on their faces.
LeBron James
Image
Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That's what's important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.
LeBron James
Image
I just do what I got to do and go out and be myself, on and off the court, and take care of my obligations. That's generally your own destiny-knowing what you have to take care of.

Image
Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

Some times your best effort just isn't good enough.
LeBron James
Image
I never rushed the fact that I wanted to be in the NBA or rushed the fact, you know, they asked me about the NBA. I always (unintelligible) back to the fact that I just love playing with my teammates.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
LeBron James
Image
They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.

Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.

Image
In the next 15 or 20 years, I hope I'll be the richest man in the world. That's one of my goals. I want to be a billionaire. I want to get to a position where generation on generation don't have to worry about nothing. I don't want family members from my kids to my son's kids to never have to worry. And I can't do that now just playing basketball.
LeBron James
Image
We were playing every game to win, we just happened to win 27 in a row. Our motto was to try and go out and win every game, but there's nothing really to talk about.
LeBron James
Image
I expect us to win. I expect us to get better every day.

The modern athlete is an individual corporation. I'm not quite sure it's very good for sport, or good for team work, or those different things that sport says it's about. This is about business.
LeBron James
Image
Teams make it tough on us, we make it tough on them. When you have two well coached teams that wanna win, it's going to be a competitive game.

Certain money is not always good money. It could be just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I mean, if you have your priorities in check then for the most part it's easy.

Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.
LeBron James
Image
I can't play the game of basketball and live my life on what other people expect me to do or what they think I should do. That doesn't make me happy. What makes me happy is being able to make plays for my teammates, to be able to represent the name on the back of my jersey.

They continue to criticize me for my outside shooting, but I continue to make outside shots.

If I could clone myself, we’d be all right. But I can’t.
