Lebron James

"A LeBron James team is always looking out for young new talent."

"He really is one of a kind. That kid is special and will be the next big thing, I promise you that. The way he moves and his athleticism reminds me a lot about myself."

"It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them. … I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand."

"This fall, and this was a very tough decision for me, but this fall I will be taking my talents to South Beach and play with the Miami Heat."

"Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven."

"Crazy. I just wanted to suck him off and everyone's mad. God sees everything!"

"All the people that were rooting for me to fail… at the end of the day, tomorrow they have to wake up and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. … They got the same personal problems they had today. And I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things I want to do."

"No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough."

"CLEVELAND! This is for you!"

"We are already limited in the sense that given that type of power, that type of stage that he had, and especially in that industry. You don’t see many black male and female actors being able to put on that stage. For him to be as transcendent as he was. But then you add on the fact that growing up as a black kid, you had superheroes that you looked up to, but they weren’t black. You had Batman, you had Superman, you had Spider Man, and so on and so on. And for him"

"To see [Bronny James] handle it, you know, with such class and so, you know, just, like, self awareness and just staying even killed is just a remarkable thing, man, and super proud of him."

"I have so many words to praise Kyrie that I end up with absolutely none because it's just. It's so. He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen. He has the best gifts I've ever seen of any NBA player."

"Growing up as a black kid, you had superheroes that you looked up to, but they weren’t black. You had Batman, you had Superman, you had Spider Man, and so on and so on. And for Ryan Coogler and for that cast, and for him himself to be able to make Black Panther...it actually felt real. It actually felt like we finally had our Black superhero and nobody can touch us."

"LA Lakers star LeBron James paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman before the Lakers playoff game against the Portland Trailblazers by taking a knee during the National Anthem and crossing his arms across his chest to give the Wakanda Forever salute."

""Hands up! Don't shoot!" and "I can’t breathe!" became mantras of the growing movement to stem police violence, and the systemic racism at the core of the problem. The phrases began appearing in popular culture, showing the speed and depth with which the movement was growing. Professional athletes in the United States are followed closely by millions of fans. So, when basketball superstar LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers warmed up before a game wearing a T-shirt emblazoned "I Can't Breathe," people noticed."

"LeBron shirks responsibility on the court when his team loses and he refuses to take the blame for just about anything. He’s not a leader."

"He has a disgraceful history of inciting race mobs and having zero gravitas as a public figure when commenting on current events or anything remotely related to "civil rights." And speaking of history… LeBron also has a long history of hating white people. It’s true. As he describes it, he disliked white folks because he was both envious and fearful of them. LeBron was filled with racism and hate at a very young age, brought on by his environment, circumstances, community, and other influences."

"Laura Ingraham was right — it’s time for LeBron to shut up and dribble."
