Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

I’m LeBron James, from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city. I’m not even supposed to be here. That’s enough. Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a No. 6 with James on the back, I’m blessed. So what everybody says about me off the court, don’t matter. I ain’t got no worries.

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.

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 hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special, but honestly, I still don't get it.

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

I might play in shorts, but I wear the pants.
