Lebron James quotes can offer a lot of insight into the colliding world of celebrity and sport. As one of the most famous basketball players in recent history, Lebron James's words are listened to intently by fans and sports critics alike. What he has to say has been controversial as well as educational.

  1. "There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.So often, athletes feel a tremendous amount of pressure to play a flawless game. With the entire world watching you on the job, each mistake dissapoints millions of fans. With this quote, Lebron James is stating that his natural talents for basketball will be showcased so he chooses to take his mind out of it, and instead, plays with his heart.
  2. "To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players." This quote from Lebron James acts as a double edged sword. By him stating that he is an unselfish player then, in the same sentence, stating that he is the best player on the team, seems to contradict itself. However, Lebron James means only the best in his intentions with this quote as well. He is basically, trying to state that, he tries to unify his team the best way he can while he is out on the basketball court. By not hogging the ball, he is able to let his other teammates learn by doing, which, for a star athlete, is unheard of.
  3. "I am just happy to be a part of the Nike family." Lebron James is synonymous with the brand Nike. He began his contract while his career started taking off, and both have never looked back. Nike is the top athletic brand in the world, its only fitting that one of the best basketball players be sponsored, heavily, by them.
