LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers recently on roller coaster ride, recently a few media outlets interviewed LeBron about this season in the league, play on the court and more.
Question: You've been doing well all season, but you've been tearing it up even more lately. Is it getting easier for you Do you feel like you can do what you want
LeBron James: I'm just getting more comfortable with my teammates, my coaching staff, and I pretty much know my role now. Coming in, I kind of didn't know my role, what was I going to be for this team, and now I am, and I'm kind of comfortable now and it feels great.
Question: What is your role
LeBron James: I'm a leader. I'm the leader of this team, and they look for me at any point in the game, and that's not just scoring-wise, I do other things.
Question: Almost out of respect, were you trying to styfle that earlier in the season
LeBron James: No, I was just playing my role. My role was to just to fit in with the team. That's all I was trying to do at the beginning.
Question: Was it a matter of proving yourself before trying to take over
LeBron James: I don't think so. I don't need to prove myself to anyone. At practice they know what I can do, and it just had to try to look to a game situation.
Question: Do you feel like other players (on other teams) are coming at you even harder now that you're proving yourself the way you are
LeBron James: Well, they was going to come at me no matter what, as much hype as I had coming into the league, number one pick, they was going to come at me no matter if I averaged zero points a game or twenty. And I'm going to come right back at them. I'm not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.
