“Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.”

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that’s sharper and smarter than they are.

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.

There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings.

I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.

You just try to take it one day at a time, You step on the basketball floor and just play. It’s fun. I’m comfortable with it.

I’m playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that’s what I’ve always wanted.

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

This is an award I couldn’t have won on my own. I can’t thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.

Friends come and go but banners hang forever.

If you don’t believe in yourself nobody else will.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

You have to rely on others to have success as a group.

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don’t have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven’t had that fear.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

Basketball isn’t easy. All my life I’ve been striving to make myself better. It’s a full time commitment.

A LeBron James team is never desperate.

A friend told me ‘I guess you gotta go through a lot of nightmares, before you finally, you know, accomplish your dreams.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings.

I realize i am black, but id like to be viewed as a person, and that is everybodys wish.

I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.

I assure you, you will never survive on your wits alone.
