"  Next year, if the other team is there for the first time and looking at the lights, we&amp;#039;re going to punch them in the mouth. They&amp;#039;ll be down two nothing before they can blink. I didn&amp;#039;t play the way I was capable of playing last year because I was trying to figure out how to fit in instead of going out and playing. You learn to respect team chemistry. It&amp;#039;s the fourth quarter, there&amp;#039;s two minutes left, the shot clock is winding down, and we&amp;#039;re like, What do we do? We didn&amp;#039;t have that flow. Chemistry comes down to repetition. It&amp;#039;s not, We&amp;#039;ve played some games, we have chemistry now. You have to talk on and off the court, see mistakes, correct mistakes, learn tendencies. It&amp;#039;s constant work, and it comes with time. Your favorite coach is the one who constantly yells at you. Everybody thinks tickets grow on trees. That&amp;#039;s what people say, that I was the catalyst. &amp;quot;Wherever he goes, the other two are going to go.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;m like, What? C&amp;#039;mon, man. I always put myself in a box when it&amp;#039;s time to make huge decisions. I didn&amp;#039;t even want to talk to them about it. The moment he said those words, it was like: &amp;quot;Taking my talents&amp;quot; ... what? But who cares, he was coming to Miami! We were in Miami, and Miami was on fire. We were all celebrating. It took a little while for me to realize, Ohhh, boy. There are people who did not take kindly to those words. When I arrived at training camp, ESPN had set up shop and you&amp;#039;d hear, &amp;quot;Reporting live from training camp.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;m thinking, What are they doing? This is what they do for the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA finals. That was the we&amp;#039;re-not-in-Kansas-anymore moment. And it was like that for the whole time. I&amp;#039;d get on Twitter and see all the nasty things being written. It&amp;#039;s funny what words will do. Even when you know they&amp;#039;re bogus, you still see them. The negative impact is still the same. I learned how important it is to have a home that&amp;#039;s in order \u2014 that&amp;#039;s peaceful. In New York, they started chanting, &amp;quot;Overrated!&amp;quot; Okay, that&amp;#039;s a good one. That&amp;#039;s clever. Be clever. They went too far that first game in Cleveland. That was crazy. The most degrading signs. Hey, if you&amp;#039;re upset with LeBron, boo. &amp;quot;You suck!&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s okay. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re trash!&amp;quot; Okay. But don&amp;#039;t get personal. You don&amp;#039;t know that person personally. It&amp;#039;s just not cool. I don&amp;#039;t think that night will ever happen again. We&amp;#039;re stronger because of it. My dad used to play every other weekend with me when I was young. I started getting better, but he could always beat me. Then one day, he realized the jig was up. And he stopped playing me just before I could beat him. Spending is the easiest thing in life. You give me $100 million and I can spend it in twenty-four hours. You think I&amp;#039;m playing? I&amp;#039;m not playing. People can&amp;#039;t fathom it. But going broke is the easiest thing ever. Money requires a lot of attention. You might want to cut off some shorts and wear them with some boots and a cool shirt. That&amp;#039;s fashion, because it&amp;#039;s what you want to do. People can laugh at it, but you have to be like, &amp;quot;This is cool. I don&amp;#039;t know what you&amp;#039;re talking about.&amp;quot; Next thing you know, people will be saying, That is kind of cool, man. It&amp;#039;s not hard to imitate a used-car salesman if you grow up watching television in Dallas. My dad worked for a company that designed plumbing for different spaces. We&amp;#039;d be walking through a parking lot and he&amp;#039;d point to buildings and say, &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the hot-water pipe right there. That&amp;#039;s where the waste goes.&amp;quot; It was such a random thing to talk about. But he knew all about it. And it all made sense years later when he told me, &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t want to work at a job you hate. You&amp;#039;ve got to like your job.&amp;quot; As I&amp;#039;ve grown older, I&amp;#039;ve found myself a lot more curious about my parents. It takes a year to plan a wedding. &amp;quot;Why are you crying? Are you hungry? Can I go get it for you? Do you want to go out? Do you want to be picked up? What do you want?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Waaaaaaaah!&amp;quot; My daughter has taught me patience. I still have the element of surprise. They don&amp;#039;t expect me to do what I&amp;#039;m going to do next year. I want to be the best player in the NBA. Maybe not this year or the year after next, but one day...
