Some great LeBron quotes

“I’m only one guy,” James said. “I took Hedo in the first game and Rashard made the shot. I took Rashard in the second game and Hedo made the shot.

“If I could clone myself, we’d be all right. But I can’t.”

- LeBron, wishing he could replace his teammates with clones of himself                

“A LeBron James team is never desperate.” – LeBron James, referring to himself in the third person

“A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don’t know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That’s one thing I learned from watching Jordan.”     

Hmmmm.....Maybe he should have learned how to shoot a jumper, or close out inferior teams instead   

“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.”
Translation:   As long as I have money, my posse will always have my back   

“I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.”
Like when a game is getting out of hand and he can just pass off to them for a brick instead of shooting his own   

 I can help guys coming out of high school, if they need advice. I know the ins and outs of everything.”

Step 1:  Give yourself a cool nickname like "King" or "Chosen One"

Step 2:  As soon as something is too hard, leave for something better...preferably join 2 other all-stars to take the pressure off of you.  

“Ask me to play. I’ll play.                   It is what you get paid to do.....

Ask me to shoot. I’ll shoot.           Only if you're up by 20 or down by 20
Ask me to pass. I’ll pass.      Especially if it helps deflect blame for a loss
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.”                                Amazing

“In the next 15 or 20 years, I hope I’ll be the richest man in the world. That’s one of my goals. I want to be a billionaire. I want to get to a position where generation on generation don’t have to worry about nothing. I don’t want family members from my kids to my son’s kids to never have to worry. And I can’t do that now just playing basketball.”  

Wait for it...........

“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.”

“Everywhere 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.”  

“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.”

“It’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.”

But unlike high school, I can change teams so I can lose with better teammates!
