More quotes by LeBron James
I don't know any other other team that got to the finals without two all stars.
LeBron James
I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.
LeBron James
I've sort of gotten into the habit of looking for the vulnerable guy, the guy who makes mistakes, the guy who can't figure things out all the time but keeps at it.
LeBron James
My childhood was never great. We moved from place to place a lot. There were times when we had no definite place to stay. So, a basic level of security was not always there. Therefore, when you finally make it out, and you become who I am, you're humbled by the memories of those situations.
LeBron James
I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'
LeBron James
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.
LeBron James
Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed.
LeBron James
We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.
LeBron James
A team like Golden State, when they get into a rhythm they make shots.
LeBron James
I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there.
LeBron James
I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.
LeBron James
Why should I care? I have all the money in the world.
LeBron James
Man, meeting Michael Jordan for me was like.. black Jesus walking towards me. It was overwhelming to me to finally meet the guy I've looked up to my whole life.
LeBron James
When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, 'Don't get comfortable, because we may not be here long.'
LeBron James
It's hard to win in the league, because every team is good, they got players on their team. A lot harder than high school. It's competitive, and that's what I most love about it.
LeBron James
But I mean, even my family gets spoiled at times watching me doing things that I do, on and off the court.
LeBron James
When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
LeBron James
Hollywood dishes out too much praise for small things I won't let it get me, but too much praise can turn a fellow's head if he doesn't watch his step.
LeBron James
When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
LeBron James
Ask me to play. I'll play. Ask me to shoot. I'll shoot. Ask me to pass. I'll pass. Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. Anything. But it's not what you ask of me. It's what I ask of myself.
