“There was a beauty here bigger than the hurtling beauty of basketball, a beauty refined from country pastures, a game of solitariness, of waiting, waiting for the pitcher to complete his gaze toward first base and throw his lightning, a game whose very taste, of spit and dust and grass and sweat and leather and sun, was America.” FirstsCountryAmericaGamesWaitingSunTasteBasketballBaseballBiggerDustGrassSweatLightningPitcherLeatherSpitRefinedPastures Book:Rabbit Redux Source: Rabbit Redux
“It's humbling to know that you have fans all over America and all over the world and they want you to play on their respective basketball team. It's very humbling that they respect the way I play the game of basketball. I can't discredit that. I can't say I don't enjoy it because you put in a lot of hard work to have fans. And for me to be a role model and for me to have fans all over is great. It's very humbling.” KnowsWorldWayWantI CanHardPlayAmericaGamesEnjoyRolesTeamFansHard WorkBasketballModelsRole ModelsHumblingBasketball TeamDiscredit Author:LeBron James
