Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.

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.

There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?

That's one of my biggest obstacles. I'm afraid of failure. I want to succeed so bad that I become afraid of failing.

I've sort of gotten into the habit of looking for the vulnerable guy, the guy who makes mistakes, the guy who can't figure things out all the time but keeps at it.

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.

Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.
