More From LeBron James

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.

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 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.

Maybe My Pain Was My Motivation.

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 All Our Team Is About. If We Stop People, We're The Most Athletic Team In This Whole Tournament And We Can Get Out And Get Easy Buckets.

If A Great Opportunity Opens Itself Up, I Would Love To Be Involved... Or Star In A Movie.

The Letter From Dan Gilbert, The Booing Of The Cleveland Fans, The Jerseys Being Burned -- Seeing All That Was Hard For Them. My Emotions Were More Mixed. It Was Easy To Say, 'ok, I Don't Want To Deal With These People Ever Again.' But Then You Think About The Other Side. What If I Were A Kid Who Looked Up To An Athlete, And That Athlete Made Me Want To Do Better In My Own Life, And Then He Left? How Would I React? I've Met With Dan, Face-to-face, Man-to-man. We've Talked It Out. Everybody Makes Mistakes. I've Made Mistakes As Well. Who Am I To Hold A Grudge?

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

I Like To Get Out And Get Up The Court, Using My Speed And Aggressiveness Toward The Hoop.

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

As A Society How Do We Do Better And Stop Things Like This Happening Time After Time!! I’m So Sorry To These Families. Violence Is Not The Answer People. Retaliation Isn’t The Solution As Well.

When I Miss You, Sometimes I Listen To Music Or Look At Pictures Of You, Not To Remind Me Of You But To Make Me Feel As If I'm With You. It Makes Me Forget The Distance And Capture You.

Missing Someone

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?' But As I Got Older I Looked Deeper And Thought, 'i Don't Know What My Father Was Going Through, But If He Was Around All The Time, Would I Be Who I Am Today?'

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.

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.

It's A Lot Of Talent Sitting In Suits.

Nba Championships

Crazy. Karma Is A B****. Gets You Every Time. Its Not Good To Wish Bad On Anybody. God Sees Everything!

I Love The Success Of My Teammates More Than My Individual Achievements. I've Just Always Cared More About That Since I Started Playing.

Individual Achievement

I Love Showcasing My Talents - Not Only To My Hometown Fans And My Own Team But To The World.

Akron, Ohio, Is My Home. It Will Always Be Remembered. Akron, Ohio, Is My Life.

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 Started Thinking About What It Would Be Like To Raise My Family In My Hometown. I Looked At Other Teams, But I Wasn't Going To Leave Miami For Anywhere Except Cleveland. The More Time Passed, The More It Felt Right. This Is What Makes Me Happy.

You Have To Be Able To Accept Failure To Get Better.

Know That I'm Better Solo. I Invented Solo.

I Just Bring The Determination To Win.

But Now, Being A Parent, I Go Home And See My Son And I Forget About Any Mistake I Ever Made Or The Reason I'm Upset. I Get Home And My Son Is Smiling Or He Comes Running To Me. It Has Just Made Me Grow As An Individual And Grow As A Man.

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.

Just Because We Are Back Home, Don't Get Comfortable. Have That Same Uptight Feeling Like It's Just Us Against Everyone.

Nba Championships

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.

The Greater Man Upstairs Know When It's My Time. Right Now Isn't The Time.

I Can't Worry About What Other People Say.

I Took Hedo (turkoglu) In The First Game And Rashard (lewis) Hit The Winning Shot. I Took Rashard In The Second Game And Hedo Hit The Shot. If I Could Clone Myself, We'd Be All Right. But I Can't.

It All Depends On How You Want To Define What An Mvp Is. I've Been Fortunate To Win The Trophy Four Times, But I've Been The Mvp Of My Team For A Long Time - Just Because Of The Way I Lead And The Way I Approach Us Being Professionals Off The Floor.

Commitment Is A Big Part Of What I Am And What I Believe. How Committed Are You To Winning? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Friend?

But I Mean, Even My Family Gets Spoiled At Times Watching Me Doing Things That I Do, On And Off The Court.

I'm Just A Little Kid From Akron.

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

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.

I Need Music. It's Like My Heartbeat, So To Speak. It Keeps Me Going No Matter What's Going On - Bad Games, Press, Whatever!

I Got A Goal, And It's A Huge Goal, And That's To Bring An Nba Championship Here To Cleveland, And I Won't Stop Until I Get It.

Nba Championships

I'm Just Blessed That I Was Able To Have Guys Around Me That Had Some Of The Same Goals. The Man Above Gave Me A Gift And He Gave Me Friends And A Mentor That Can Help Me Reach My Goal And Reach My Potential. And We All Had The Same Goal, So It Wasn't Hard For Us To Get, You Know, Off Track Because We All Wanted The Same Thing.

Why Should I Care? I Have All The Money In The World.

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

It's Hard For Me To Congratulate Somebody After You Just Lose To Them. I'm A Winner. It's Not Being A Poor Sport Or Anything Like That. If Somebody Beats You Up, You're Not Going To Congratulate Them. That Doesn't Make Sense To Me. I'm A Competitor.

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.

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 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.

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.

Nba Championships

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.

I Have A Responsibility To Lead, In More Ways Than One, And I Take That Very Seriously.

I'm Not About Saving Franchises.

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.

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

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.

I Think, Team First. It Allows Me To Succeed, It Allows My Team To Succeed.

Warren Buffet Told Me Once And He Said Always Follow Your Gut. When You Have That Gut Feeling, You Have To Go With Don't Go Back On It.

We Hated Cleveland Growing Up. There's A Lot Of People In Cleveland We Still Hate To This Day.

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.

I Like Being Around People.

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.

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'm Like A Superhero. Call Me Basketball Man.

In This Fall - This Is Very Tough - In This Fall I'm Going To Take My Talents To South Beach And Join The Miami Heat.

He Reminds Me Of Michael Jordan. "you Look And They Have Similar Games Where They Want To Lead Their Team To Victory, No Matter If They Have To Shoot The Ball Every Time Or If They Have To Rebound Or Pass, They're Going To Find A Way To Win." I've Always Said That Kobe Bryant Is The Best Scorer In Our Game Today And He's Definitely Proving Himself.

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.

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.

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.

That Team Across The Way, You Tip Your Hat To Them. They Did A Great Job. It Showed In These Finals.

Nba Championships

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 Don't Know Any Other Other Team That Got To The Finals Without Two All Stars.

Nba Championships

I've Got Extra Motivation That I Won't Talk About Right Now.

The Only Thing On My Mind Right Now Is Trying To Win The Whole Thing.

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.

The Best Option For Me To Do Was Not To Move. I Tried, And Any Little Nudge Or Step, It The Cramping Would Get Worse. It Was The Whole Left Leg ... Nearly The Whole Left Side. ... I Drank A Lot Of Fluids At Halftime. I Even Changed My Uniform.

Nba Championships

I Make Impact Plays. I Make Game-changing Plays.

I Love Seeing My Teammates Succeed. That's What I Get More Excited About Than Anything

There Is No Room For Donald Sterling In Our League - There Is No Room For Him.

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.

It's A Humbling Experience For Me To Be In This Position.

Humbling Experiences

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.

You Can't Let Nobody Run Your Train.

And Winning Is A Huge Thing For Me.

A Team Like Golden State, When They Get Into A Rhythm They Make Shots.

Nba Championships

I'm A Guy Who Tries To Be Successful In All That I Do, And When You Fall Short, It Hurts.

I'm A Winner...i'm A Competitor. That's What I Do. It Doesn't Make Sense For Me To Go Over And Shake Somebody's Hand.

I'm Confident With My Ability.

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.

You Become A Champion As A Team. I Understand That. I Know The History Of The Game.

I Love Sharing The Ball With My Teammates. I See A Lot Of Things Before My Teammates See Them.

As A Man, If You Got A Problem With Somebody, You Sit Down Face To Face And You Talk To Them Eye To Eye. And You Hash It Out And Move On.

Am I Responsible Or Are You', A Senior Official Asked His Pilot, Dubiously Beginning A Flight To Baghdad, 'for Seeing That This Machine Is Not Overloaded?' 'that Will Have To Be Decided At The Inquest.

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

But Sports Carried Me Away From Being In A Gang, Or Being Associated With Drugs. Sports Was My Way Out.

Commitment Is A Big Part Of What I Am And What I Believe. How Committed Are You To Winning? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Friend? To Being Trustworthy? To Being Successful? How Committed Are You To Being A Good Father, A Good Teammate, A Good Role Model? There's That Moment Every Morning When You Look In The Mirror: Are You Committed, Or Are You Not?

Obviously I'm Not Getting Much Sleep. You Guys Can See I'm Not Getting Much Sleep Right Now, But I'm Ok With That. I'm Ok With Not Sleeping To Be Able To Prepare Myself And Mentally Keep Myself Intact On What's The Main Objective For Me Right Now.

I've Always Been An Unselfish Guy, And That's The Only Way I Know How To Play On The Court And I Try To Play To The Maximum Of My Ability - Not Only For Myself But For My Team-mates.

You Learn From Mistakes, You Learn From Losses, But This Game Doesn't Put Something On Me Where It's, 'hey, I've Finally Done It. This Was A Big Game. We Won It And We Have To Move On.'

Maybe The Ones Burning My Jersey Were Never Lebron Fans Anyway.

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.

Well, I Mean, To Me, I Think My Ultimate - My Ultimate Goal Is Winning Championships And - And I Understand That Me Going Down As One Of The Greats Will Not Happen Until I, You Know, Win A Championship.

I Told Myself If I Ever Made It To The Level I Want To Be At, I'm Gonna Give Back.

These Fans Here Are Unbelievable. They Showed Up And Showed Out Tonight. We Needed Every Little Bit Of It.

We Were Playing Every Game To Win, We Just Happened To Win 27 In A Row. Our Motto Was To Try And Go Out And Win Every Game, But There's Nothing Really To Talk About.

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

I'm Feeling Better After The Game Than I Did When I Came Off The Floor With Cramps. ... I Was Going To Try To Give It A Go, And 'spo Said 'no.' You Know, After I Came Out Of The Game, They Kind Of Took Off. And It Was Frustrating Sitting Out And Not Being Able To Help The Team.
