James: I know I have talent, but I put in the effort every day to improve myself

Tiger Punch January 22, 2019 The Lakers beat the Magic 116-105 on the road. After the game, Lakers forward LeBron James was interviewed.

Asked how he has succeeded with teammates of different personalities, James said: "Everyone is different, it's not even a question of character, it depends on how much you put into the sport, how much dedication you put into every day, day in and day out. I've never been opportunistic in the process of wanting to be great in this sport, and I know I have God-given abilities, but if you don't make good use of your abilities, put in the effort every day, hone your skills, think about ways to improve yourself, 'Okay, you've improved this, so how can you improve those areas that you're not good at?' ’

"When you're feeling comfortable, how can you allow yourself to experience uncomfortable feelings again when you're elevating certain aspects?" If you can't do all of this, talent will only take you that far. Throughout my career, I've never felt comfortable with anything in my own races, which put me in a position where I wanted to be one of the best in history. ”

In this game, James played 34 minutes and had 29 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 12-of-23 shooting.
