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!

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.

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.

Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate – my ultimate goal is winning championships and – and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I,...

I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns...

And winning is a huge thing for me.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.

I’m just a little kid from Akron.

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...

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.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

I don’t read books much.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

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 like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I’m still working out at my old high school.

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.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

My father wasn’t around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, ‘Why me? Why don’t I have a father? Why isn’t he around? Why did he leave my mother?’ But as...

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.

I laugh and joke, but I don’t get distracted very easily.

I went through a lot of battles in high school.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

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...

Maybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.

I like being around people.

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

But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I’m upset. I get home and my son is smiling or...

I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.

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...

When you work out or you’re doing anything active, it’s more fun as a group. You may lose track of the time, and the next thing you know, you’re working out for two hours because...

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you – but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

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...

It’s always a struggle growing up in Akron.

When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.

I was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

My game is really played above time. I don’t say that like I’m saying I’m ahead of my time. I’m saying, like, if I’m on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that...

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

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.

No place is better than Akron.

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...
