Warren Buffet told me once and he said always follow your gut. When you have that gut feeling, you have to go with don't go back on it.
LeBron JamesEverywhere I've been, I've been the best player. I love being a leader, and I love being the best. I just want to get better. It's not about being cocky or selfish or anything like that. It's just how I am.
LeBron JamesIt's hard to win in the league, because every team is good, they got players on their team. A lot harder than high school. It's competitive, and that's what I most love about it.
LeBron JamesBut I mean, even my family gets spoiled at times watching me doing things that I do, on and off the court.
LeBron JamesWorking with all of these kids is great. It doesn't get any better than this, to come down and inspire kids who want to play the game of basketball and put smiles on their faces.
LeBron JamesHollywood dishes out too much praise for small things I won't let it get me, but too much praise can turn a fellow's head if he doesn't watch his step.
LeBron JamesThat team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.
LeBron JamesI mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?
LeBron JamesIn this fall - this is very tough - in this fall I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.
LeBron JamesI'm just blessed that I was able to have guys around me that had some of the same goals. The man above gave me a gift and he gave me friends and a mentor that can help me reach my goal and reach my potential. And we all had the same goal, so it wasn't hard for us to get, you know, off track because we all wanted the same thing.
LeBron JamesI do Pilates and yoga to stay in front of the curve. I feel like it's helping me. Does it work for everybody? I don't know. I'm not a guru on how to be in the best condition. Let me sit here and tell you that. But it works for me.
LeBron JamesI didn't think we'd get to this point that we're at now, but I was ready to lead If we got to this point.
LeBron JamesI 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.
LeBron JamesIf a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved... or star in a movie.
LeBron JamesIt's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them. I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm a competitor.
LeBron JamesI hate letting my teammates down. I know I'm not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don't feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.
LeBron JamesI've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my team-mates.
LeBron JamesYou know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes, you're doing the right thing, you're always right.' No, they tell me when I'm wrong, and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.
LeBron JamesEverything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.
LeBron JamesThere are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.
LeBron JamesBut put my body through a lot, you know, but it's the price for your body feeling this way for winning. Did I win? I didn't win a championship, but I've done a lot of good things in this first year back, and hopefully I can continue it.
LeBron JamesFor me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you'd would wake up times and hope that the next day you'd be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.
LeBron JamesCertain money is not always good money. It could be just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I mean, if you have your priorities in check then for the most part it's easy.
LeBron JamesTo be honest, the play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told coach, 'Give me the ball.' We're either going to go to overtime or I'm going to win it for us. It was that simple.
LeBron JamesI 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.'
LeBron JamesD-Wade is the unselfish guy here-he is welcoming Chris Bosh and LeBron James to his team.
LeBron JamesWhen did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
LeBron JamesThe best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.
LeBron JamesI enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.
LeBron JamesI'm a guy who is just trying to be successful in whatever I do, and I give everything to my teammates, give everything to the coaching staff. When you fall short, it hurts and it eats at you, and it hurts me to know that I wish I could have done better and done more and just put a little bit more effort or whatever the case may be to help us get over the hump. But it just wasn't our time.
LeBron JamesIf it wasn't for the determination and the will power we have in each other, we wouldn't have pulled through and got this win. Much respect to Spain, but the U.S. is back on top again.
