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

  • Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?

  • 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!

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

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