December 2, 2010 - Update
LeBron Moving on from Cleveland to Continue his Greatness in Miami:
| Quote: | | "We tried our best as a team. Tried our best to bring a championship to (Cleveland) and just tried to play hard every night. I have the utmost respect for this franchise, the utmost respect for these fans, and you know, just continue the greatness for myself here in Miami and try to get better every day." |
LeBron not Apologizing for "The Decision" because it was Solely for the Kids:
| Quote: | | "I don't want to apologize," he said. "I think my intentions were not to hurt anyone. My intentions were solely on kids during that whole process. There's always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them. I'm satisfied and happy right now." |
LeBron's Assessment of his 1st Game against his Former Team:
| Quote: | | "I know this court. I've made a lot of shots on this court." |

He's about as bright as Sarah Palin when it comes to his perception of the public's perception.... |

| Quote: | Did a post game interview with Craig Sager and I mentioned "Greatness" and I didn't mean my self individually, I meant to say US as a TEAM working towards "Greatness". Anyways Great Team Win for US tonight!

This is kind of hearsay since it's from Wade:
| Quote: | | "I think we all looked at each other and we [held] each other accountable for our games,'' Wade said. "I hear from LeBron all the time now that I'm the worst finisher in the league now because I can't make a layup sometimes. But it helps me out because now I want to prove him wrong." |

Thank you!
Updated the list with:
LeBron on still being Friends with Daniel Boobie Gibson:
| Quote: | | "Did he (Daniel Gibson) say that? Did he actually be quoted as me and LeBron's friendship is over?" James said implying that Gibson felt he was misquoted and said everything is now patched up between the two. "I talked to Daniel today and it is all good. We're still friends." |
LeBron on some Ex-Teammates Ignoring LeBron:
| Quote: | | "I didn't expect too much, I didn't ask for too much for any of my ex-teammates, " James said. "For the most part, everyone's reception was kind of cold." |
I'd love to add the D-Wade layup even if he was joking, but too bad it's not a LeBron quote.

^ Yup, that's a moi!
2nd Updated of the Day:
LeBron on why he and Wade seem to be Playing Better Together:
| Quote: | | "He (Wade) stopped trying to figure out if it’s his time or my time,” James said about Wade’s recent improvement. “He had a lot on his mind at times. He’s just trying to figure this out instead of just going out and playing. And that’s the same for me too. We’re both in those instances where we were both trying to figure things out at the same time and we’re kind of hurting the team.” |
LeBron on why Chris Bosh is Playing Better;:
| Quote: | | “I just think he (Bosh) stopped thinking about misses,” James said. “He just stopped trying to figure out 'Well, is it my time, or is it his time?' He's just been going out and playing. You know he has a lot on his mind trying to figure this out instead of just going out and playing. Now, we're just playing, and it's shown in the point differential when we're all out on the court together.” |
Nope, this is not a typo or double post. Per ESPN, that's what LeBron said about Wade and Bosh respectively.

LeBron on passing up the Cavs, Clippers, Nets, and Knicks:
| Quote: | | "Winning appeals to me, it is all about winning, I said it all summer," James said. "I'm not about saving franchises." |
LeBron on not being scared to be out with New Yorkers:
| Quote: | | "No one is going to actually try to come up to me and try to hurt me," James said. "They may wait until I walk down the street and yell it after they've walked past me. I'll go out to eat and if there is something going on Thursday night, I may hang out. No one is going to do anything, I'm a big guy, man." |

Updated "Off the Court" section - 12/27/10
LeBron on Not Knowing what Contraction meant:
| Quote: | | "That's crazy, because I had no idea what the word 'contraction' meant before I saw it on the Internet," James said after the Miami Heat's practice Monday. "I never even mentioned that. That word never even came out of my mouth. I was just saying how the league was back in the '80s and how it could be good again. I never said, 'Let's take some of the teams out.'" |
LeBron on the League would be better with Contraction:
| Quote: | "You look back at it in the '80s," James said before Thursday night's game against the Phoenix Suns, "you had probably 10 teams that had two or three All-Stars on one team, at least. You go from Portland, you go of course to the Bulls, the Lakers, Detroit, Boston, Houston. That's why it was great. That's what I'm saying."
Asked if he was suggesting contraction, as has been offered as a possibility from Commissioner David Stern amid the league's contentious negotiations for a new collective-bargaining agreement, James said, "That's not my job as a player, but that's why the league was so great."
"Just imagine if you could take Kevin Love off Minnesota and add him to another team," he said. "Or, looking at some of the teams that's not that great, you take Brook Lopez or you take Devin Harris off these teams that's not that good right now and add 'em to a team that could be really good.
"I'm not saying, 'Let's take New Jersey, let's take Minnesota out of the league.' But, hey you guys are not stupid. I'm not stupid. I know what would be great for the league." |
LeBron on why LeBron's shoes are better than Kobe's:
| Quote: | LeBron James' LeBron 8 V/2, which has a suggested price of $160, and Kobe Bryant's Zoom Kobe VI, which retails for $130. So the natural question is: Why in the heck does the Miami star's shoe sell for $30 more?
"Yeah, it's a better shoe,'' James said Friday. "But we're all one Nike family.''
So why is it a better shoe?
"Because it's LeBron's shoe", said James. "It is, it's got my name on it. I take pride in my shoes every year and I've always taken pride in having the best shoe. So they're going to cost a little more if you decide to wear them.'' |

In 2008 Eastern Conference semi-final Game 4 between Cavaliers and Celtics, Paul Pierce committed a "warp" foul against LeBron James and trumbled into the crowd where Gloria James, James' mother, was nearby and got involved in the fuss. LeBron James addressed to her:
