end of march always means one thing for me... playoffs are coming. which means not letting up, keeping the foot on the accelerator, not gonna slow down until we get to the finish line. and that finish line is me and my teammates celebrating holding a finals trophy with commissioner stern.
people keep asking me "how you doing" and "how you feeling?" i really do feel good. been a long year, but really enjoying every second of it. i have the best job in the world. so if that means taking care of myself off the court, eating right, working out, doing my yoga and getting plenty of rest time when at home like i am now with the fam. nice to have a couple of days off here in the middle of a back-to-back with new jersey.
also got to dig into some of your questions and comments - whooeeee there are a lot here. thanks for all of them, i obviously can't respond to all of you, wish i could. Maybe in the summer.
let's see... austin wants to be a better shooter. do i have any advice?
you should ask one of my teammates because i ain't no shooter. daniel gibson, wally szczerbiak and mo williams can give you the answer to that.
personally i think it's all about repetition. you know, you have to get in the gym. you have to shoot the same shot. but like i said, i'm not a pure shooter like gibson, wally or mo williams. i can help but, i can't make you a ray allen. i'm still getting better myself! just watched a bunch of those drills videos - good stuff.
another question from gerald: "I'm a coach in training... do you want to be a coach someday?"
wow, that's a long ways away. but i think so, because i love the game. either basketball coach or a football coach. you know i got two sons that will's probably gonna play sports right now, so i'm definitely gonna coach them and help them. but i promise you this - i'm not going to be one of those mad crazy fathers that make their kids get up at six o'clock in the morning and work on stuff. i'm gonna want them to get better, but also teach them to have fun. whatever they try to do i'm gonna coach them and help them do what they love.
let's make that lebron's lesson of the day.
off to work out again.

Have one question from texas?how do you become a smarter basketball player
good blog mr james good luck on ur games and wat can i do to jump higer
Awesome!
I know the dude at dunkchamp.com teaches high school, college players and some of the pros on how to increase their vertical leap. Also, LeBron: do you use a rebounder for jumping or did you just watch some videos on that too?
I hope you will teach your kids to have fun and to be responsible just like you.
I wish you best luck in your game
We are champions
Crazy
hey u doin big on da court right now. U shouldn't be posing on dem boys like dat. Pose for da frame then!
I guess I would have a personal question. Being so young in the NBA do you feel that you ever grew up to quick? I ask that because we are the same age, we finish high school the same time, and we both have 6 figure incomes?
hey,king james.i am crazy about u.
i come from China.Watchin' ur game is the supreme moment 4 my life.
u r MVP,and will soon win the champion.good luck!
lebron i dnt have a question for you but a request,gimme a pair of lebron shoes,um damn crazy bout it....cmmon now king u can do that ryte..plzzzz..
yo mvp i can't wait to see you knock Kobe off his pedastool and take home that finals trophy this year. nobody deserves it more than you. from one player to another i had 2 quick questions 1- how old were you when you could first dunk and2 what helped
if you keep that EYE of the TIGER look that you been having then NO one can stop you!!! so, an early congratulation on the MVP of the 2009 NBA championship and more importantly congratulation on your team winning it all!!!
my boys love you!!!

Hey Lebron, do you ever wonder what it would have been like had you chose football instead of basketball? There has never been a 6'8", 260 lbs wide receiver with that kind of speed and that high of a vertical!
um...is this really you posting stuff or are you having someone do this for you? I LOVE YOU! yes, i am Minnesotan but luv the cavs
I am in 7th grade and i want help to become superior! LUVS YA!!
