LeBron James

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.

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

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

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

For me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you'd would wake up times and hope that the next day you'd be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.
