Lebron james

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...

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

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.

You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

I love showcasing my talents - not only to my hometown fans and my own team but to the world.

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

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...

I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.
