More on this storyline
LeBron James: And then you realize—you’re like, ‘I’ll be looking at it, and I hear it…’ I mean, those guys—a lot of those guys that played the game or did not play the game—it’s just, they played while they were talented, but I don’t think they ever thought the game. I don’t think they were ever smart.” “I just think they were bigger and stronger and maybe faster at the time, and they dominated. And when it was over, it was over. You know?” “That’s why I’m able to still play at 40 years old. Mine is just—I can play the game because I can outthink the guys out there. And as my athleticism has gone down a notch—not a lot, don’t you dare… a little fat too, you know—as my athleticism has gone down a notch, I’ve still been able to bring up other facets of my game to still do what I need to do every single night.” “But the talking heads of our sport? Oh my goodness -via YouTube / March 26, 2025
LeBron James: I was 25 years old. I played for Cleveland, but I still lived in Akron. So for 25 straight years, I was in the same house. I had an awesome house—you’ve seen that. That’s a great house. So I was comfortable. That was my comfort. My comfortability was being in Akron, Ohio. I’d drive 30 minutes to Cleveland, play my games, then shoot right back down to Akron and I was good. So for the first time, it’s like—I’ve always used the analogy—it felt like my college moment. I didn’t go to college, so going to Miami was like moving out of my parents’ house. I was going off to college. -via YouTube / March 26, 2025
LeBron James: They knew. We had the same flight attendants all the time. It was a party of six. They were rotating, and every time, they knew I loved chocolate chip cookies. So they would get on, and I’d be like, ‘Hey, soft—soft with a little crispy edge.’ Yeah. Perfect. I’d get on and they already knew. They’d bring me two cookies, and I’d get to gambling with the guys, and I got my cookies, and we’re good. Then one flight, I got on, I looked at them and they looked at me—and I’m like, ‘Oh… that look didn’t look familiar.’ I asked, ‘Do you got the cookies?’ They were like, ‘No… we’re not allowed to. No more cookies on these flights.’ What? We all knew where it came from. I looked at D-Wade, D-Wade looked at me—basically, without even saying it, he was like, ‘F***ing Riles done it again. Riles strikes again.’ I was like, ‘Damn.’ -via YouTube / March 26, 2025
