LeBron James

Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I'm still working out at my old high school.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

I've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my teammates.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

Also, I preached to gangs on the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx - and miracles began to happen.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.
