Know that I'm better solo. I invented solo.Collection: Solo
We want to win it all. The only reason we play this game is to win championships.Collection: Basketball
Once you become a professional athlete or once you do anything well, then you're automatically a role model ... I have no problem being a role model. I love it. I have kids looking up to me and hopefully I inspire these kids to do good things.Collection: Basketball
I don't know any other other team that got to the finals without two all stars.Collection: Stars
Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.Collection: Hurt
The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball. I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go.Collection: Basketball
I assure you, you will never survive on your wits alone.Collection: Insult
The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, 'OK, I don't want to deal with these people ever again.' But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I've met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We've talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I've made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?Collection: Mistake
I expect us to win. I expect us to get better every day.Collection: Basketball
I'm a winner...I'm a competitor. That's what I do. It doesn't make sense for me to go over and shake somebody's hand.Collection: Hands
But I mean, even my family gets spoiled at times watching me doing things that I do, on and off the court.Collection: Mean
Messi is the best player in the world. If he's not already, he'll be the best footballer of all time.Collection: Player
I love seeing my teammates succeed. That's what I get more excited about than anythingCollection: Basketball
That's what keeps me humble because I know my background, know what my mother went through. I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do. My mom always says and my friends all say, ’You're just a very low-maintenance guy’. I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.Collection: Basketball
Teams make it tough on us, we make it tough on them. When you have two well coached teams that wanna win, it's going to be a competitive game.Collection: Team
I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.Collection: Motivational
I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.Collection: Basketball
Just wanted to inspire my teammates. Obviously, I didn't do enough.Collection: Nba Championships
I've always been skeptical of people who say they lose themselves in a part. Someone once came up to Spencer Tracy and asked, "Aren't you tired of always playing Tracy?" Tracy replied, "What am I supposed to do, play Bogart?" You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.Collection: Tired
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.Collection: Mistake
Hollywood 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.Collection: Hollywood
I never wanted to leave Cleveland. My heart will always be in that area - in a perfect world I would have loved to stay.Collection: Basketball
It'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.Collection: Basketball
I'm going to take my talents to South Beach.Collection: Beach
You become a champion as a team. I understand that. I know the history of the game.Collection: Basketball
I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.Collection: Basketball
I'm very, very confident in my ability to see the game - even before it's played.Collection: Basketball
I spoil a lot of people with my play. If you have three bad games in a seven-year career, people are going to point that out.Collection: Years
We were playing every game to win, we just happened to win 27 in a row. Our motto was to try and go out and win every game, but there's nothing really to talk about.Collection: Winning
Working 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.Collection: Basketball
We lost one (Finals), we won two and we lost another one. (We'll) take 50 percent in four years in championships any day. Obviously, we want to win all of them, but that's just the nature of the game. Not proud of the way we played (in this series).Collection: Winning
If they are the league ain't doing a good job of it.Collection: Basketball
It all depends on how you want to define what an MVP is. I've been fortunate to win the trophy four times, but I've been the MVP of my team for a long time - just because of the way I lead and the way I approach us being professionals off the floor.Collection: Basketball
When I got back from the war in 1946 people didn't want the Mr. Smith kind of movie any more, and I refused to make war pictures.Collection: War
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.'Collection: Basketball
This is a job and we want to have fun. But it's a job and we should look like we're going to work.Collection: Inspirational
A kid with a dream from Akron Ohio. Now chopping it up with the Prez. Life is GoodCollection: Dream
I took Hedo (Turkoglu) in the first game and Rashard (Lewis) hit the winning shot. I took Rashard in the second game and Hedo hit the shot. If I could clone myself, we'd be all right. But I can't.Collection: Winning
You know, softball is the other sport I do besides basketball.Collection: Basketball
A LeBron James team is never desperate.Collection: Team
You lose in the Finals, they're all disappointing. Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami, Cleveland or on Mars. You lose the Finals, it's disappointing.Collection: Nba Championships
I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it.Collection: Nba Championships
With that locker room I could sleep there after games.Collection: Basketball
But 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.Collection: Winning
It's humbling to know that you have fans all over America and all over the world and they want you to play on their respective basketball team. It's very humbling that they respect the way I play the game of basketball. I can't discredit that. I can't say I don't enjoy it because you put in a lot of hard work to have fans. And for me to be a role model and for me to have fans all over is great. It's very humbling.Collection: Basketball
I'm under a super microscope. I've got my friends to keep me cool. As long as you've got friends, you've got nothing to worry about.Collection: Basketball
Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!Collection: Karma
There's no encyclopedia or book about parenthood. You learn on the fly.Collection: Book
But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys.Collection: Guy
