LeBron James Nba Quotations

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

It was one of those nights where you come out and you just don't bring it. This is what happens. These guys (with the Magic) are in the NBA just like we are, and this is what happens when you don't bring it.

I never rushed the fact that I wanted to be in the NBA or rushed the fact, you know, they asked me about the NBA. I always (unintelligible) back to the fact that I just love playing with my teammates.

The same way you slow me down. You can't.

If you put everything together as far as my mind, my body, my game. If you put everything in one bottle, this is probably the best I've been.

Obviously I'm not getting much sleep. You guys can see I'm not getting much sleep right now, but I'm OK with that. I'm OK with not sleeping to be able to prepare myself and mentally keep myself intact on what's the main objective for me right now.

I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.

I wouldn't feel good about it at all. At the end of the day I'm here to win a team prize, and that's to win a championship, not an individual prize.

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.

I'm very good at noticing talent. I knew he was special then and obviously he is now.

I'm very, very confident in my ability to see the game - even before it's played.

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach there's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

If they are the league ain't doing a good job of it.

I've put our guys in position. I gave them the blueprint. I think they're ready.

I've given these guys the blueprint on how to win a premiership, now I just have to be patient until they're ready.

I might play in shorts, but I wear the pants.

To be honest, the play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told coach, 'Give me the ball.' We're either going to go to overtime or I'm going to win it for us. It was that simple.

We played well all the way until, like, the second quarter.

I'm going to be one of the top four that's ever played this game, for sure. And if they don't want me to have one of those top four spots, they'd better find another spot on that mountain. Somebody's gotta get bumped, but that's not for me to decide. That's for the architects.

I've got extra motivation that I won't talk about right now.
