Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

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.

We want to win it all. The only reason we play this game is to win championships.

I'm confident with my ability.

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.

Where I grew up - I grew up on the north side of Akron, lived in the projects. So those scared and lonely nights - that's every night. You hear a lot of police sirens, you hear a lot of gunfire. Things that you don't want your kids to hear growing up.

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

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.

I love seeing my teammates succeed. That's what I get more excited about than anything
LeBron James

My game is really played above time. I don't say that like I'm saying I'm ahead of my time. I'm saying, like, if I'm on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I've thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that's the right place to go to.

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.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.
LeBron James

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

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you - but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.
LeBron James
Image
That's one of my biggest obstacles. I'm afraid of failure. I want to succeed so bad that I become afraid of failing.

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.

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

You know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes, you're doing the right thing, you're always right.' No, they tell me when I'm wrong, and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.

I wouldn't feel good about it at all. At the end of the day I'm here to win a team prize, and that's to win a championship, not an individual prize.

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.
