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.

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.

My Relationship With Northeast Ohio Is Bigger Than Basketball. I Didn't Realize That Four Years Ago. I Do Now.

The Man Above Has Given Me Some Unbelievable Abilities To Play The Game Of Basketball. I Just Try To Take Advantage Of It Every Night. I Got The Trust Of My Teammates And My Coaching Staff To Go In There And Let It Go.

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.'

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.

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

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 Do Pilates And Yoga To Stay In Front Of The Curve. I Feel Like It's Helping Me. Does It Work For Everybody? I Don't Know. I'm Not A Guru On How To Be In The Best Condition. Let Me Sit Here And Tell You That. But It Works For Me.

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."

If You Put Everything Together As Far As My Mind, My Body, My Game. If You Put Everything In One Bottle, This Is Probably The Best I've Been.

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.

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.

I Am Just Glad I Have The Game Of Basketball In My Life.

I'm Going To Take My Talents To South Beach.

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

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

I Never Rushed The Fact That I Wanted To Be In The Nba Or Rushed The Fact, You Know, They Asked Me About The Nba. I Always (unintelligible) Back To The Fact That I Just Love Playing With My Teammates.

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.

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

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 A Little Kid From Akron.

I Never Get Too High On My Stardom Or What I Can Do.

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 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'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.

Once You Squeeze Toothpaste Out, You Can't Put It Back Into The Tube. The Same Is True With Our Words. Once We Say Something Hurtful, We Can't Take It Back

Nba Championships

Once You Get On The Playing Field It's Not About Whether You're Liked Or Not Liked. All That Matters Is To Play At A High Level And Do Whatever It Takes To Help Your Team Win. That's What It's About.

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?'

There's No Encyclopedia Or Book About Parenthood. You Learn On The Fly.

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 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

You Can't Let Nobody Run Your Train.

The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me Was Losing Last Year In The Finals. I Had To Change.

We Played Well All The Way Until, Like, The Second Quarter.

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.

I Was Blessed With A God-given Talent And My Mother Raised Me The Right Way.

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

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.

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

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

I'm Like A Superhero. Call Me Basketball Man.

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.

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

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

Humbling Experiences

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 Can't Worry About What Other People Say.

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.

Nba Championships

Don't Be Afraid Of Failure. This Is The Way To Succeed.

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

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

We Ran Out Of Talent Tonight. The Guys Played As Hard As They Could, As Long As We Could.

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

I'm Not About Saving Franchises.

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.

We Aren't Comfortable. We Are Not Satisfied. We Have To Stay Even-keeled.

My Dream Has Become A Reality Now, And It's The Best Feeling I've Ever Had.

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.

You Lose In The Finals, They're All Disappointing. Doesn't Matter If I'm Playing In Miami, Cleveland Or On Mars. You Lose The Finals, It's Disappointing.

Nba Championships

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'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.

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.

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.

I Always Say, Decisions I Make, I Live With Them. There's Always Ways You Can Correct Them Or Ways You Can Do Them Better. At The End Of The Day, I Live With Them.

The End Of The Day

The Group Of Guys I Have... They Are Playing Off Straight Motivation.

Nba Championships

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.

A Lebron James Team Is Never Desperate.

I Feel Confident Because I'm The Best Player In The World. It's That Simple.

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.

The Same Way You Slow Me Down: … You Can’t.

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

I Will Have No Problem Coming To Practice On Time. The Locker Room Is Great, But We Have To Prove Ourselves On The Court.

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

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.

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

Nba Championships

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.

I Treated It Like Every Day Was My Last Day With A Basketball.

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

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

It's Not Just Straight-line Speed. He's Got The Agility And The Quickness To Go With It. His Vision On The Field Is Phenomenal. It Just Opens The Playbook So Much As A Coach That I'm Really Looking Forward To It.

And Winning Is A Huge Thing For Me.

Cleveland Fans Are Awesome.

If They Are The League Ain't Doing A Good Job Of It.

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.

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?

Volleyball, I Could Be Pretty Good. After A Few Practices I Could Be That Striker, Or Whatever They Call It.

The First Time I Stepped On An Nba Court I Became A Businessman.

As A Parent You Protect Your Kids As Much As Possible.

A Friend Told Me 'i Guess You Gotta Go Through A Lot Of Nightmares, Before You Finally, You Know, Accomplish Your Dreams.

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.

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

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.

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.'

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.

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

I Don't Want To Be Called A Point Guard, But I Can't Stop It.
