Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward: "You know, I'm happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I've been drafted that I can finally say that I'm a champion, and I did it the right way. I didn't shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off. It's a great moment for myself."

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward: "The best thing that happened to me last year was us losing The Finals, you know, and me playing the way I played, it was the best thing to ever happen to me in my career because basically I got back to the basics. It humbled me. I knew what it was going to have to take, and I was going to have to change as a basketball player and I was going to have to change as a person to get what I wanted. You know, it happened just one year later."

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward: "I don't know. That's for you guys to write, to say if I'm the best player in the league or the No. 1 player in the league. All I know is I'm a champion, and that's all that matters."
