LeBron James: 'We need bad times'

Wednesday, October 22 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    LeBron James met with the media at a Cleveland Cavaliers practice session on Monday ahead of their preseason matchup with the Chicago Bulls at Ohio State University.

    Script:

    LeBron James was part of a Cleveland Cavaliers side that beat Chicago Bears 107-98 on Monday night. Although before the match you get the impression he'd have been just as happy if they lost, as long as his teammates learnt a lesson...

    SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Forward

    (On growth of Cavaliers)

    "I mean, we just got started not to long ago. So, everyday is a learning process. Everyday is a a comfort. You go to go through something in order to create a bond, I mean for the worst. We got to lose ball games that we think we should have won. We got to get into arguments here and there, every now and then just to test each other out. It has to happen. It's going to happen. I know it's going to happen. A lot of guys don't see it, but I see it. And that's the only way we're going to be able to grow. You don't define yourself during the good times, it's throughout the bad times and that's for the players and the coaching staff as well."

    The forward signed for the Cavaliers in July after helping Miami Heat win two NBA titles. Cleveland won the 2007 Eastern Conference but have never won basktball's top prize. They'll dream of changing that this year, they have one more warm-up match at Memphis before the regular season gets underway against the New York Knicks on October the 30th.
