Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers forward (on the status of his health):

"I haven't felt great all year. I've had spurts where one or two games I feel good and after that I was just pushing through it. I've been a competitive guy and wanted to be out there for my team-mates. So, I feel better right now than I've done for the majority of the season."

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers forward (on his decision not to play):

"It's been one of the toughest things for me. You know, but I just had to listen to my body, listen to the docs (doctors), listen to my trainer and this is what we came up with."
