Here are a few samples:




LeBron on donating $2.5 of the $6 million revenue to Boys & Girls Club:

quote:

"This is an unbelievable venture for myself. This is great, also for the kids. The kids are our future. One day we might have another LeBron. Maybe."



LeBron on playing for Cleveland fans:

quote:

"Cleveland fans are awesome," James told GQ. "But I mean, even my family gets spoiled at times watching me doing things that I do, on and off the court."




LeBron on staying Humble growing up:

quote:

"That's what keeps me humble because I know my background, know what my mother went through. I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do. My mom always says and my friends all say, ’LeBron's just a very low-maintenance guy’. I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me.



LeBron on getting booed for blowout lost to Celtics:

quote:

"I spoil a lot of people with my play," James told ESPN.com after a 120-88 loss. "When you have a bad game here or there, when you have 3 bad games in a 7-year career, then it's easy to point that [bad] game out."



LeBron about the City of Cleveland:

quote:

"We didn't actually like Cleveland," says James. "We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day."




LeBron on Boobie Gibson missing Game 6 vs Celtics:

quote:

"A LeBron James team is never desperate."




LeBron's thoughts about Ring - Chasing:

quote:

"It’s also important to me to make the team I’m on now the best," says James about his Cavaliers team. "I don’t want to go "Ring - Chasing" as I call it, you know. Going to a team that’s already pretty established and trying to win a ring with them. I want to stay with the Cavs and build a champion. And I feel like we’re on our way."



LeBron on his Ultimate Goal while in Cleveland:

quote:

"I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland, and I won't stop until I get it."



LeBron on sharing the Ball:

quote:

"I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them."




LeBron on being a Leader:

quote:

"Everywhere I've been, I've been the best player. I love being a leader, and I love being the best. It's not about being cocky or selfish or anything like that. It's just how I am."



LeBron on what his Role is for the team:

quote:

"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."




LeBron on his 1st Pre-season game with the Heat:

quote:

"I can't defer," James said. "I'm never in defer mentality."

The only reason you don't like him is because he's black....or because he's a self centered, egotistical maniac who has done little to deserve the hype he is given (he's nothing without rings).

He didn't state his opinion of Lebron. He let Lebron do the talking.

Not one of those quotes means anything when, ya know, an actual game is going on. Which is all that matters, or all that should matter, IMO.

And honestly, the fact that you took the time to find all those quotes and stuff that goes on OFF THE COURT for any athlete is hilarious.

Who cares?

I've never cared what goes on off the court or what players say off the court in any sport and it's so weird to me that some care so deeply.

Funny how people bang on Lebron. At least the guy is not out getting into fights at clubs, driving drunk, raping women, or doing other illegal things I don't think I've ever heard of any bad behavior off the court from Lebron. The only "bad" incident I can think of is the HS thing when he was driving the Hummer.

Who made him that way?? That'd happen to any POOR kid if the media and fans worshipped his arse at a YOUNG age, watch every move he makes, runs up to him for autographs, taking pics of him when he walks into stores, etc. Remember the guy is still young and people jocked him since he was in middle school.

I'm not crazy about Lebron and don't really care what anyone's opinion of him is, but I find it highly amusing that the majority of these anti-Lebron campaign type threads come from posters who are overly infatuated with Kobe Bryant. Given all of these quotes and how terrible his "The Decision" special was, he still hasn't done a fraction of the arrogant, a-hole-like things that Kobe has

I don't have a problem with half of those quotes to be honest.
