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
00:08And when I do it at the level
00:09I do it after everything else
00:10Take care of yourself
00:11Liberal
00:14G
00:18It is very impressive
00:19But he's doing 40 years old
00:21Still 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 five guy in our league
00:36Is insane
00:37That just tells you how much he takes care of his body
00:39And how serious he is about basketball
00:42I think as being a prime player at this age
00:46And still being productive as he is
00:48That's how special he is
00:50I think it's amazing considering that I'm 52
00:54And when I was 40
00:55I was like producing notes at a very high level
00:59And not playing basketball at that high level
01:01He's an amazing specimen
01:04He's a beast
01:05It's hard to argue that he's not
01:07You know, one of the all-time greats
01:09That 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
01:22For able to, you know, keep his nose clean
01:25Stay focused
01:26The thing about greatness is that you adjust
01:29And find ways to continue to be effective
01:32And that's what LeBron has done at that age
01:35You know, he's not running and jumping the same way
01:38As he was when he was 25, 26 years old
01:40But he's still jumping pretty high
01:42You know, and running pretty fast
