It's a humbling experience for me to be in this position.
D-Wade is the unselfish guy here-he is welcoming Chris Bosh and LeBron James to his team.
I am just happy to be part of the Nike family.
I don't want to be Kobe, I want to be LeBron.
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.
You know, softball is the other sport I do besides basketball.
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.
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 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'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.
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 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 will have no problem coming to practice on time. The locker room is great, but we have to prove ourselves on the court.
A team can't work when a guy puts himself in front of a team. I have yet to be on a team like that.
They continue to criticize me for my outside shooting, but I continue to make outside shots.
No place is better than Akron.
I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.
I've put our guys in position. I gave them the blueprint. I think they're ready.
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 love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.
I hope I can help guys coming out of high school, if they need advice. I know the ins and outs of everything.
