00:00I've done nothing but be true to the game
00:01Give everything I got to the game
00:03Put my heart, my blood, sweat, tears to the game
00:06I play ball, that's what I do
00:07That's what I live by and when I do it at the level
00:09I do it after everything else, take care of yourself
00:11Libro...
00:14G!
00:18It is very impressive what he's doing
00:2040 years old, still being able to play at a high level
00:23You gotta give credit where credit is due
00:25I can remember at like 34 and 35
00:28Having trouble walking up the steps
00:30And knowing that I had to play a game that night
00:32So with him being able to do that
00:33And still being a top 5 guy in our league
00:35Is insane
00:37That just tells you how much he takes care of his body
00:39And how serious he is about basketball
00:41I think as being a prime player
00:44At this age and still being productive as he is
00:48That's how special he is
00:50I think it's amazing considering that I'm 52
00:53And when I was 40
00:55I was producing notes at a very high level
00:59And not playing basketball at that high level
01:01He's an amazing specimen
01:03He's a beast
01:05It's hard to argue that he's not
01:07One of the all-time greats that we had in this league
01:10His numbers definitely say that
01:12The years that he played have said that
01:14And the impact that he's had on the game
01:16The NBA game, not just in the States
01:18But globally
01:19You gotta tip your heart off to a guy like LeBron
01:21For able to keep his nose clean
01:25And stay focused
01:27The thing about greatness is that
01:29You adjust and find ways to continue to be effective
01:32And that's what LeBron has done at that age
01:36He's not running and jumping the same way as he was
01:39When he was 25, 26 years old
01:41But he's still jumping pretty high
01:43And running pretty fast
