There's no reason to play in the NBA if you don't believe you can win it all.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

A LeBron James team is never desperate.

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

I don't know any other other team that got to the finals without two all stars.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don't know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That's one thing I learned from watching Jordan.
