“I noticed him when I started coaching him, how smart he was. You’re a little bit shocked at the athleticism and just an amazing athlete that’s there. And then you add intelligence, then you add a command voice, then you add leadership and then you add something that a lot of people don’t have and that’s the will to prepare to win. Everyone wants to win, not everyone will pay the price every day, every year to be at their best. Before practice, he has the same guy helping him for two decades, he stretches for over a half hour and he preps his body. And while he’s prepping his body, he’s prepping his mind and he’s just so damn prepared. He and Kobe, I thought were just above everyone in preparation, physical, mental, you name it. When they were on the court at a practice or in a game, they wanted to be the best, all the time, all the time and they paid the price for it.

"For anyone who knocks LeBron in any way, they’re crazy. We’re not going to see anybody like him, he’s one of a kind. Just what he’s doing in the Olympics, his verve, his demeanor, his attitude, he helps his team by how he looks, not just how he plays. I want to play with a guy who looks like him because there’s hardly anybody who looks like that. I mean, facially, not just body-wise. The face of a champion, this guy has that face of a champion.”
