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.

As a parent, if you have multiple kids, you can't teach them all the same thing because they all have different personalities. They're their own person.

But then I lock back in and I start thinking about how fun it is to compete during the playoffs and the first round, the second round, and Eastern Conference Finals. If I'm lucky enough to get here again, it will be fun to do it.

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.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
LeBron James

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.

Every practice, every film session, every game will help our chemistry.

You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
LeBron James
Image
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.

You become a champion as a team. I understand that. I know the history of the game.

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.

Image
A lot of people were saying that I was a selfish person and a selfish player. You know, it got to me.

I love watching track and field - the 4x100 relay, the 100-(meter) dash, the 200-(meter) dash. To see what they're able to do, I love watching that.
LeBron James

I won at every level - all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I've won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won't be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.

It would be easier if I didn't even make the playoffs, it would hurt less. But then I start thinking about how much fun it is.

I've always been skeptical of people who say they lose themselves in a part. Someone once came up to Spencer Tracy and asked, Aren't you tired of always playing Tracy? Tracy replied, What am I supposed to do, play Bogart? You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.
