Additionally, LeBron also emphasized on the key role discipline plays in. He recalled his rigorous routine that he still follows to this date and said, 

"You have to have a discipline to sometimes, you have to sacrifice loved ones in order to be great because they don't understand. And that's okay, they don't understand what it means to, like, I am getting up every single day at 5 or 6 a.m.”

He added that there is more to the beautiful game than just victories and defeats. According to him, it is the real love for the process of the game that takes place before the game starts. To him, playing games is the easy part but to have love of the game when there was nobody watching is all that makes one a great basketball player.
