LeBron James recently said that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not ready for the playoffs. However, that doesn’t mean that LeBron won’t do whatever it takes to win another title. In fact, LeBron is so determined to win that, according to him, he would even kidnap his mother(although I’m not sure quite what that has to do with winning).
LeBron James spoke about his desire to sign Joe Johnson, and how that relates to his winning mentality. From Cleveland.com’s Chris Haynes:
“All I care about is winning. That’s all that matters to me,” James confirmed to cleveland.com. “A piece like Joe, you know what it does to your team and if he was concerned about playing time or concerned about starting, then I’ll sacrifice. I’ll sacrifice to get a guy like that to help us try to win a championship.”
James, until recently, has never been keen on the idea of accepting a full-time role of operating out of the post and absorbing the physical pounding that comes with the position. But understanding what’s at stake, he’s willing to try pretty much anything if it translates to more wins for his team.
“Man listen, I’ll do anything to win. I’ll kidnap my momma to win,” James said to cleveland.com with a deadpan expression on his face.
That was an… interesting quote. Unfortunately for LeBron and co., Johnson decided to sign with LeBron’s old team in Miami. It’s good to hear that LeBron is still thoroughly committed to winning. He, and the rest of his team, will need that attitude come playoff time.
