Quote

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.'

We did what we are supposed to. We protected home. We have to try to do it again Thursday night.

I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.

Some times your best effort just isn't good enough.

Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.
LeBron James
Image
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.

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.
LeBron James
Image
I'm confident with my ability.

Image
They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.

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.

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.

Image
We don't want to get frustrated because it sticks in your mind too much. We have to work at it and see what we did wrong.

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
Image
Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.
LeBron James
Image
We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.
LeBron James
Image
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.

I don't read books much.

I never thought basketball was going to be my future. I just wanted to play because it gets you girls.
LeBron James
Image
But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

Image
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 laugh and joke, but I don't get distracted very easily.
