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.
Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.
I'm a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys - movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.
This is a job and we want to have fun. But it's a job and we should look like we're going to work.
A kid with a dream from Akron Ohio. Now chopping it up with the Prez. Life is Good
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.
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 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?
You know, softball is the other sport I do besides basketball.
I went through a lot of battles in high school.
A LeBron James team is never desperate.
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.
Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.
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.
You know, I'm just 6'9" and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.
I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
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.
With that locker room I could sleep there after games.
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.
But put my body through a lot, you know, but it's the price for your body feeling this way for winning. Did I win? I didn't win a championship, but I've done a lot of good things in this first year back, and hopefully I can continue it.
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.
Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!
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.
There's no encyclopedia or book about parenthood. You learn on the fly.
But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys.
