All The People That Were Rooting On Me To Fail, At The End Of The Day, They Have To Wake Up Tomorrow And Have The Same Life That They Had Before They Woke Up Today. They Have The Same Personal Problems They Had Today. I'm Going To Continue To Live The Way I Want To Live And Continue To Do The Things That I Want To Do With Me And My Family And Be Happy With That. They Can Get A Few Days Or A Few Months Or Whatever The Case May Be On Being Happy About Not Only Myself, But The Miami Heat Not Accomplishing Their Goal. But They Have To Get Back To The Real World At Some Point.

I Was So Used To Going Out And Winning State Championships And Playing In The Postseason.

My Father Wasn't Around When I Was A Kid, And I Used To Always Say, 'why Me? Why Don't I Have A Father? Why Isn't He Around? Why Did He Leave My Mother?'

There Is A Lot Of Pressure Put On Me, But I Don't Put A Lot Of Pressure On Myself. I Feel If I Play My Game, It Will Take Care Of Itself.

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.

Cleveland Fans Are Awesome.

You Know, Softball Is The Other Sport I Do Besides Basketball.

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?"

All The People That Were Rooting On Me To Fail, At The End Of The Day, They Have To Wake Up Tomorrow And Have The Same Life That They Had Before They Woke Up Today. They Have The Same Personal Problems They Had Today. I'm Going To Continue To Live The Way I Want To Live And Continue To Do The Things That I Want To Do With Me And My Family And Be Happy With That. They Can Get A Few Days Or A Few Months Or Whatever The Case May Be On Being Happy About Not Only Myself, But The Miami Heat Not Accomplishing Their Goal.

Everywhere I've Been, I've Been The Best Player. I Love Being A Leader, And I Love Being The Best. I Just Want To Get Better. It's Not About Being Cocky Or Selfish Or Anything Like That. It's Just How I Am.

I Have Short Goals - To Get Better Every Day, To Help My Teammates Every Day - But My Only Ultimate Goal Is To Win An Nba Championship. It's All That Matters. I Dream About It. I Dream About It All The Time, How It Would Look, How It Would Feel. It Would Be So Amazing.

Nba Championships

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.

To All The Positions, I Just Bring The Determination To Win. Me Being An Unselfish Player, I Think That Can Carry On To My Teammates. When You Have One Of The Best Players On The Court Being Unselfish, I Think That Transfers To The Other Players.

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.

You Know, God Gave Me A Gift To Do Other Things Besides Play The Game Of Basketball.

I'm A Guy Who Is Just Trying To Be Successful In Whatever I Do, And I Give Everything To My Teammates, Give Everything To The Coaching Staff. When You Fall Short, It Hurts And It Eats At You, And It Hurts Me To Know That I Wish I Could Have Done Better And Done More And Just Put A Little Bit More Effort Or Whatever The Case May Be To Help Us Get Over The Hump. But It Just Wasn't Our Time.

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.

Maybe My Pain Was My Motivation.

And Winning Is A Huge Thing For Me.

I'm Very, Very Confident In My Ability To See The Game - Even Before It's Played.

For Me, Already Being Part Of A Single Parent Household And Knowing It Was Just Me And My Mom, You'd Would Wake Up Times And Hope That The Next Day You'd Be Able To Be Alongside Your Mother Because She Was Out Trying To Make Sure That I Was Taken Care Of. But All I Cared About Was Her Being Home.

I Learn From Winning, Because It's Much Easier To Point Out Things When You Lose. But I Think The Alternate Competitors Can Point Out A Lot Of Things When You Win.

When I Got Back From The War In 1946 People Didn't Want The Mr. Smith Kind Of Movie Any More, And I Refused To Make War Pictures.

That's What Keeps Me Humble Because I Know My Background, Know What My Mother Went Through. I Never Get Too High On My Stardom Or What I Can Do. My Mom Always Says And My Friends All Say, ’you're Just A Very Low-maintenance Guy’. I Don't Need Too Much. Glamour And All That Stuff Don't Excite Me. I Am Just Glad I Have The Game Of Basketball In My Life.

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.

I Expect Us To Win. I Expect Us To Get Better Every Day.

I'm Under A Super Microscope. I've Got My Friends To Keep Me Cool. As Long As You've Got Friends, You've Got Nothing To Worry About.

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.

It's Humbling To Know That You Have Fans All Over America And All Over The World And They Want You To Play On Their Respective Basketball Team. It's Very Humbling That They Respect The Way I Play The Game Of Basketball. I Can't Discredit That. I Can't Say I Don't Enjoy It Because You Put In A Lot Of Hard Work To Have Fans. And For Me To Be A Role Model And For Me To Have Fans All Over Is Great. It's Very Humbling.

I Am Just Happy To Be Part Of The Nike Family.

Sometimes In The Past When I Played Something Might Make Me Lose Focus, Or I Would Go Home After A Game Where I Thought I Could Have Played Better And I Would Let It Hang Over My Head For A Long Time When It Shouldn't.

I'm Very Good At Noticing Talent. I Knew He Was Special Then And Obviously He Is Now.

Messi Is The Best Player In The World. If He's Not Already, He'll Be The Best Footballer Of All Time.

Once You Become A Professional Athlete Or Once You Do Anything Well, Then You're Automatically A Role Model ... I Have No Problem Being A Role Model. I Love It. I Have Kids Looking Up To Me And Hopefully I Inspire These Kids To Do Good Things.

I Don't Really Get Involved In It, The Whole Thing. I Understand How Important This City Is And What I Mean To This City And What Our Team Means To The City... But I Don't Get Caught Up Into It. I Just Go Out And Play My Game. I Try To Lead The Best Way I Can, And If I Can Put My Team And This Franchise In A Position To Win The Title, I'm Grateful For That.

I Spoil A Lot Of People With My Play. If You Have Three Bad Games In A Seven-year Career, People Are Going To Point That Out.

To Be Honest, The Play That Was Drawn Up, I Scratched It. I Just Told Coach, 'give Me The Ball.' We're Either Going To Go To Overtime Or I'm Going To Win It For Us. It Was That Simple.

I've Been Watching Basketball For A Long Time, I'm A Historian Of The Game. I Don't Know Any Other Team That's Gotten To The Finals Without Two All-stars... I Cannot Remember Thinking Of It. I Don't Even Know If It's Ever Happened, For A Team To Lose Two All-stars And Still Be Able To Make It To The Finals.

I Don't Know How Tall I Am Or How Much I Weigh. Because I Don't Want Anybody To Know My Identity. I'm Like A Superhero. Call Me Basketball Man.

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.

Sometimes The Coaches Tell Me To Be Selfish, But My Game Won't Let Me Be Selfish.

I'm Not Going To Fight Because I Mean Too Much To Our Team, And I Can't Afford To Be Suspended For A Game Or Do Something Stupid To Get Me Kicked Out Of A Playoff Game.

I Mean, When You Grow Up In The Inner City And You Grow Up In A Single-parent Household, That's - Those Are Humbling Times, You Know?

A Kid With A Dream From Akron Ohio. Now Chopping It Up With The Prez. Life Is Good

I've Given These Guys The Blueprint On How To Win A Premiership, Now I Just Have To Be Patient Until They're Ready.

I Was A Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan Fan Growing Up.

That's Crazy, Because I Had No Idea What The Word 'contraction' Meant Before I Saw It On The Internet.

I Don't Need Too Much. Glamour And All That Stuff Don't Excite Me. I Am Just Glad I Have The Game Of Basketball In My Life.

I Hope I Can Help Guys Coming Out Of High School, If They Need Advice. I Know The Ins And Outs Of Everything.

Well, Of Course You Question It, Especially When You Get To This Point. I Always Look At It Would I Rather Not Make The Playoffs Or Lose In The Finals? I Don't Know. I Don't Know. I've Missed The Playoffs Twice. I Lost In The Finals Four Times. I'm Almost Starting To Be Like I'd Rather Not Even Make The Playoffs Than To Lose In The Finals. It Would Hurt A Lot Easier If I Just Didn't Make The Playoffs And I Didn't Have A Shot At It.

That's One Of My Biggest Obstacles. I'm Afraid Of Failure. I Want To Succeed So Bad That I Become Afraid Of Failing.

I Don't Let Individual Statistics Make Me A Focus Or More Of A Focus. I Just Tried To Come Out And Attack Early And Get A Big Lead. We Were Able To Take It In Overtime And Win.

I'm Not Afraid Of Nothing, I Just Like The Challenge, And I Love Being Here.

But Ever Since I Was A Kid, I Was Always The Winner.

People Who Say "it Is Better To Have Loved And Lost Than Never To Have Loved At All" Never Felt A Broken Heart.

I Hear My Friends And My Mom Tell Me I'm Special, But Honestly, I Still Don't Get It.

Basketball Isn't Easy. All My Life I've Been Striving To Make Myself Better. It's A Full Time Commitment. To Be The Best, You Have To Work The Hardest. You Have To Chase What Seems Impossible Over And Over And Over Again, Because Giving Up Is Not An Option, And When You Feel Like You've Reached Your Limit, It's Only The Beginning, That's When The Time To Dig Deep, To Find The Courage To Push Some More, Because If You've Got The Drive, The Discipline, And The Resolve To Do What It Takes To Make Yourself Great, Then The Rewards Are Endless.

I Always Believed That I’d Return To Cleveland And Finish My Career There.

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.

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.

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.

A Lot Of People Were Saying That I Was A Selfish Person And A Selfish Player. You Know, It Got To Me.

I Laugh And Joke, But I Don't Get Distracted Very Easily.

I Think The Reason Why I'm The Person Who I Am Today Is Because I Went Through Those Tough Times When I Was Younger.

I'm A Leader. I'm The Leader Of This Team, And They Look For Me At Any Point In The Game, And That's Not Just Scoring-wise, I Do Other Things.

A Lebron James Team Is Never Desperate.

I'm Not Promising A Championship. I Know How Hard That Is To Deliver. We're Not Ready Right Now.

Before Anyone Ever Cared Where I Would Play Basketball, I Was A Kid From Northeast Ohio. It’s Where I Walked. It’s Where I Ran. It’s Where I Cried. It’s Where I Bled. It Holds A Special Place In My Heart.

Just Wanted To Inspire My Teammates. Obviously, I Didn't Do Enough.

Nba Championships

I Like Criticism. It Makes You Strong.

When Did I Know I Had Talent? I Think It Started When I First Started Playing Sports, Organized Sports.

You Know, I'm Just 6'9" And 260. And Just So Happen To Be Very Good At Playing The Game Of Basketball.

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.

I Enjoy The Competition And Whatever It Takes Throughout The Competition, I Will Do It.
