I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.
There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?
You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed – you’re not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.
There’s no encyclopedia or book about parenthood. You learn on the fly.
You have to do what’s best for you and what’s going to make you happy at the end of the day because no one can live with the consequences or anything that comes with your decision besides you.
I’m ready to accept the challenge. I’m coming home.
Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
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.
I told myself if I ever made it to the level I want to be at, I’m gonna give back.
I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
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 love the success of my teammates more than my individual achievements. I’ve just always cared more about that since I started playing.
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 am just happy to be part of the Nike family.
I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.
Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.
You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.
When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
