LeBron James Says 'You've Got To Do It As A Laker' To Gain Respect From Lakers' Fans
LeBron James said that he must win an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers to gain the full respect of Lakers\' fans.
\"What I\'ve learned being a Laker is that the Laker faithful don\'t give a damn what you\'ve done before ... They don\'t care about your résumé at all until you become a Laker.
\"Then you\'ve got to do it as a Laker, and then they respect you. I\'ve learned that,\" said James ahead of game 5.
James, who is 3-0 in the NBA Finals in games with a chance to clinch, could be the first player to go 4-0 in series-clinching games.
James added that he doesn\'t think about what winning another title would do for his legacy.
\"I don\'t really think about it too much. I think the story will be told how it\'s supposed to be told and be written how it\'s supposed to be written. But I don\'t live my life thinking about legacy. What I do off the floor is what means more to me than what I do on the floor.\"
