Ask me to play. I'll play.
Ask me to shoot. I'll shoot.
Ask me to pass. I'll pass.
Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate.
ANYTHING.
But it's not what you ask of me.
It's what I ask of myself.


I thank God for the God-given talent He gave me.


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.

These have to be my favorite ones :lol:

LeBron on sharing the Ball:
"I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them."


LeBron about girlfriend Savannah, his baby's mama:
“A person like myself always needs a great sidekick. And she’s that,” James says. “She’s got my back.”


LeBron on donating $2.5 of the $6 million revenue to Boys & Girls Club:
"This is an unbelievable venture for myself. This is great, also for the kids. The kids are our future. One day we might have another LeBron. Maybe."


LeBron on if he had a Homosexual teammate:
“We’re like family and you take showers with each other,” James said Wednesday. “We’re on the bus together and we talk about a lot of things and if you’re not trustworthy, like admitting you’re gay, you can’t be trusted. It’s a trust factor.”

"You have your trademark play, and that's one of my plays. It kind of looks like a travel because it's slow, and it's kind of a high-step, but it's a one-two just as fluent as any other one-two in this league. I got the wrong end of it, but I think they need to look at it -- and they need to understand that's not a travel," James said. "It's a perfectly legal play, something I've always done."

I really like every quote that shows potential growth and maturity. These are, unfortunately, always followed by a contradictory action or statement. I hope he learns to speak for himself, or at least gets better PR people. He could always attempt to avoid the controversy altogether and just shut up. But we've seen what the media and fans do to everyone who doesn't give a soundbite.

That said, I always chuckle at his 'Cleveland championship or bust' quote.

March 28, 2007

Before the Cavaliers vs Knicks game, LeBron James, whose own line of sneakers cost around the $120 - $150 a pair, was asked about the idea of affordable $15 sneakers, endorsed by Stephan Marbury.

LeBron: "Growing up in the inner city, at times families can't afford $120 shoes. It's definitely smart on their part.''

Asked if the Nike $90 million man could see himself wearing these snickers:

LeBron: "No, I don't think so. Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high."

Marbury, who is friendly with James, was lacing up his sneakers before the game when informed of LeBron's comment.

Marbury: "I'd rather own than be owned."

The Knicks then beat the Cavaliers that night, 97 - 93.

That's a great double-entendre considering LeBron was owned by Steph.

LeBron James got owned by a guy who eats vaseline.

Stay in school.

There HAS to be a quote out there somewhere where he admits his love of German poop movies.

That was funny, I remembered that game. Found the link too.

LeBron on why LeBron is never on a Lose-Lose but Win-Win Situation:
"In the life I live today, the way I am blessed, the way the man above has given me these God-given abilities, there's no way I'm in a lose-lose situation. Every day I wake up, see my family, my two sons running around just loving life, there's no way I'm in a lose-lose situation. I'm going out here playing a game of basketball, the game I love, the game I played as a kid for free, and we still play for free!"

"So there's no lose-lose situation for me. It just so happens we've got cameras and people writing about it. So until you understand who LeBron James is, LeBron James is in a win-win situation, and will continue to be in a win-win situation."


Classic!

It's always nice to play Free Basketball while making $16 million a year.

I'm pretty sure that comment was referring to Bosh, not Savannah.
