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 alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.

As a kid, we would drive up and down 77 North - that's our highway - there would be office buildings on the side of the highway and I'd be like, that's what my house is going to look like when I get older. I'm going to start making my house look like this.

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 court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.

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 in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.

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, you know, win a championship.

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.

I am just happy to be part of the Nike family.

Where I grew up - I grew up on the north side of Akron, lived in the projects. So those scared and lonely nights - that's every night. You hear a lot of police sirens, you hear a lot of gunfire. Things that you don't want your kids to hear growing up.

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

And winning is a huge thing for me.

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.

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 he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.

But sports carried me away from being in a gang, or being associated with drugs. Sports was my way out.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

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

I always say, decisions I make, I live with them. There's always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them.

I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.

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.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I'm not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don't feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

I have short goals - to get better every day, to help my teammates every day - but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.

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

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

I love watching track and field - the 4x100 relay, the 100-(meter) dash, the 200-(meter) dash. To see what they're able to do, I love watching that.

I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.

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

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

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

I'm confident with my ability.

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

I'm just a little kid from Akron.

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 game.

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 but for my teammates.

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

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

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 I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?'

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

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

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.

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

Warren Buffet told me once and he said always follow your gut. When you have that gut feeling, you have to go with don't go back on it.

When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, 'Don't get comfortable, because we may not be here long.'

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

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

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 you're having fun.

You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.

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