But for me, off the floor, I think me having my own school in my hometown, me inspiring kids all over the world, being active in politics at times or social justice and things that goes on in regular life, those are the things that I hope people talk about as well, because those are things that last forever
I hope that we've instilled enough vision in them that they look and see the passion that we put into what we do on a day to day basis
You just hope that you've done enough
I've had goals throughout my whole career, you know, on the court
I wanted to be the rookie of the year
My rookie year
I wanted to be an all star
I wanted to win championships
I wanted to be the mvp of the league
I wanted to be defensive player of the year
I wanted to lead the league
And assist
I never, ever was like, I want to break the all time scoring record
I've always prided myself on saying I want to be the greatest ever played this game
And that came from a motivation to myself
My drive to be the greatest of all time
Every so many years, they come out with a new roller coaster, and we've spent plenty of times going up and just testing out the new roller coaster
Many highs, many loops, how fast it is, whatever the case may be, and you get off just feeling so much excitement and just feeling alike
I want to do it again, and I think my career has been like that
You know, your stomach drop at times, you're excited, you're yelling
Sometimes you can't hold your
You can't breathe, but you always want to do it again
It's been a pleasure and an honor so far in my career within these 20 years, that through the ups, through the downs, through the ins and outs, through the trials and tribulations, I've always had maintain me, and I've done it my way
I didn't want to emulate anybody
I wanted to give praise to everyone that came before me
I wanted to acknowledge that I'm a historian of the game, but I didn't want to emulate nobody
I wanted to be myself
You know, if you stay true to yourself, I think you always feel better about the outcome
Win, lose, a draw in life
You feel that you're never going to make it out
You feel like the statistics are built up against you
You feel like the system is built against you to not succeed
You feel like there's no way that you're ever gonna have an opportunity for your dreams to become a reality
I had dreams every day of playing in the NBA
I had dreams every day of being an inspiration to so many people
I always felt it was my job and my responsibility to come out and play the game at a high level and be as great as I can be, because there is a kid in the inner city somewhere that's looking for inspiration, and that's gonna need it and maybe get it from me
So I'm LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city
I'm not even supposed to be here
That's enough
Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a number six with James on the back
I'm blessed
So what everybody say about me off the court don't matter
I ain't got no words
Jackson's
He get a champ because in game, not many guys in NBA history have done it, so it's rare
Yeah, that was the first time he did it in the game
So we were super impressed
He was super casual with it, but he has that
He has that ability, obviously
Of course
Yeah, of course
The game dictates itself when you play the game
However, the chips may fall
And today we had an opportunity to bump the lead up in the third and started fourth
We kind of kept going early on, then we got to shut down, so that's good
It all depends on how I'm feeling tomorrow
You know, obviously I feel like I just played a game
Obviously I prepared that way
So that's out for tomorrow
I guess absolutely helps
Every minute counts
They were to get back here and get going on the treatment, my prep to start preparing my body, hopefully for tomorrow night
It's always been mutual respect and love
Every time I come here and play here throughout my career, they showed me nothing but love, even throughout the battles and the whole season
Whatever the case may be, these fans are always appreciative of myself and I just try to always give it back to them when I step on your floor
It's not always their job to come in and carry a big goal to scoring, but we know the ability of Spence
He can get it going
We saw what he can do
We know TP can get it going at times, you know, especially from the perimeter
But tonight he was super aggressive
In the end, you know, Max
When Max has gotten his number card, he's always stayed ready, even as a young kid
We love that
He's always ready to come in and give us a punch
So that was good to get him going tonight for sure
Of the best players I ever played with
Obviously, his iq was out of this world, and I was very lucky to get the team up with him at that point here
When I was in LA, obviously being in LA and him coming to the Lakers, I was ecstatic about that
I knew what we could accomplish together
Doe always talked about if he ever teamed up with me, he knew we could win a championship
We did that
And then just being a fierce competitor throughout my career, when he was in Boston, obviously our battles that we had when I was in Cleveland and going to Miami, guys, he got everything out of his career and more, you know, two time champion, multiple all stars
A couple years, he maybe land a league and assist or was up there
Just a spectacular player
Well, I don't know where it came from, but at the end of the day, Bronnie's his own man
He has some tough decisions to make, and when he's ready to make those decisions, he'll let us all know
But as his family, he'll support whatever he does
Last question
Don't turn the ball over because that fuels home teams for sure
It gets the crowd involved
We got a defensive rebound and we're able to stop them in one possession
We got a clean glass, and then we got to keep them up to three point line because they shoot the ball particularly well
Three point line and get back in transition
I'm on fire
LeBron, last question
I said at the beginning of the show, I wish that I would have had this moment, the chance to pass up Kareem
You now pass up Kareem Abdujibar
I know what my attitude would have been
Does this now make you the greatest player of all time? Are you now the goat? You know, I'm gonna let everybody else, you know, decide who that is or just talk about it, but it's great
It's great barbershop talk
