James said his four years in Miami changed his mindset on the basketball court. 

“I spent like seven years and then I went to Miami that first year and everything was about like still what everybody else thought," James said. "And then I was literally like ‘I don’t give a f**k about what anybody else think. I’m him. If I don’t take it, who going to take it?’ I mean, you know, it's not even taking a shot. It could be taking a shot. It could be making the right play. Like, you know, I get s**t for making the right play. Four motherf**kers on me, motherf**ker wide open right here. Like we are a team. And I trust them. Why wouldn’t I have thrown it to them? I don’t care about the results.”
