I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.
I don't need my players to like me. I need them to play for me
Winning is more related to good defense than good offense
A key basketball skill is imagery. The best players "see" situations before they happen so they can be prepared
Basketball is not played simply with X's and O's. It's played with both trust and confidence.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
I'm proud of everybody in our organization. Not every story has a happy ending. Doesn't mean it's a bad story.
I think I got hooked up because I try to do good things with the NBA, and they always want somebody who's notable and who's personable with people.
Just like the NBA, the NFL has guys that can pull off multiple looks, ranging from street style to more dapper, buttoned-up looks, and people are starting to notice.
I recruit hungry kids who love the game and want to get better and feel they have more questions than answers
I'm still waiting for perfection. In the meantime, I'll settle for persistence
LeBron doesn't have any weaknesses, or he doesn't have a glaring weakness. So you've got to pick up on the smaller things to try to make him uncomfortable. Like knowing which side he likes to shoot threes off the dribble, which side he likes to drive. One side he'll drive left more often, and the other side he'll drive right more often.
I want to become the first European floor leader to succeed in the NBA. I want to be the standard-bearer and prove we can succeed here.
The fundamentals of the game are the same wherever you go: pass, dribble, shoot, defend, rebound, screen, play hard and together
I want to say congratulations to Cleveland and Coach Blatt. LeBron is an incredible player.
You guys make the rules up, so a foul is a foul. It doesn't matter if a guy is bigger and stronger. It's not my fault I ate my Frosted Flakes when I was little, and you ate Wheaties.
Most lay-ups and two foot jump shots around the goal are missed by not putting the ball up high enough on the backboard
If you want to have a lot of success, you need to have a lot of failure
I usually dig the single-digit numbers, but No2 is retired. I'm going to change it up and wear No10. I'm going to wear it for Messi, my favourite soccer player. I've been playing a lot of FIFA lately and watching the games. He's the best little guy to do it and I've got to be the best little guy to do it at No10 in the NBA. That's my goal.
Fundamentals were the most crucial part of my game in the NBA. Everything I did, everything I achieved, can be traced back to the way I approached the fundamentals.
Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.
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.
I've always been interested in jobs in the NBA. But I've been in this for 20 years and it might be time to do something else.
Promise to wear a cheerful appearance at all times and give every person you meet a smile.
Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible.
