“I’m just a small kid from Akron, Ohio — a very small town outside of Cleveland. From a single-parent household, I’m the only child, my mother had absolutely nothing. She was walking around high school when she was 16 years old and she was pregnant with me as a high school sophomore. So I’m really not supposed to be here.”

“Growing up in the inner city, as an African-American kid, there’s no way you’re supposed to f*cking make it out. And, the fact that I’m who I am as an African-American adult now with 3 kids of my own, and I made it out of the situations that I was in. This sh*t is like extra credit for me man.”

James went on to thank everyone involved in the film.

“Ya’ll say you appreciate me, but I’m sh*t without ya’ll.”

LeBron James is a man of many talents. He is all over the place and this is one of the biggest reasons why he decided to move his talents to Los Angeles.
