Zitat des Tages von LeBron James:
I don't read books much.
I won at every level - all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I've won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won't be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.
I'm a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys - movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.
There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.
If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved... or star in a movie.
I like being around people.
I'm confident with my ability.
And winning is a huge thing for me.
You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.
It's always a struggle growing up in Akron.
Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.
But ever since I was a kid, I was always the winner.
I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.
You 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.
I 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.
I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.
You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.
I need music. It's like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what's going on - bad games, press, whatever!
There are always people always asking you for something. But I feel like I have a foundation. I have a supporting cast where it doesn't bother me too much.
You have to be able to accept failure to get better.
But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.
I hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special, but honestly, I still don't get it.
There 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.
I don't want to be called a point guard, but I can't stop it.
I'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 teammates.
I'm not going to fight because I mean too much to our team, and I can't afford to be suspended for a game or do something stupid to get me kicked out of a playoff game.
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.
For 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.
Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.
I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.
To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.
As a kid, we would drive up and down 77 North - that's our highway - there would be office buildings on the side of the highway and I'd be like, that's what my house is going to look like when I get older. I'm going to start making my house look like this.
I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.
Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
