Say What? Dec. 30 — Jan. 5

"I had a decade of the 30s, so to just wake up and just be like, 'Oh shoot, oh damn, you're 40?' It's kind of laughable,really, to know where I am, to see where I am still playing the game at a high level, still being such a young man, but old in the scheme of how many years I got in this profession. To be honest, if I really wanted to, I could probably play this game at a high level probably for about another — it's weird that I might say this — but probably about another five to seven years. But I'm not going to do that." — LeBron James
