James talked about his childhood when he did not have a special basketball trainer to help him train his skills.

James said: "I never had a 'basketball trainer' until I entered the second, third, or even fourth year of the NBA, that I had a 'basketball trainer'. What I call basketball training is playing on the court, and it's just playing. Five-on-five, two-on-two, or three-on-three, and the 33-point or 21-point games we played when we were kids.

I counted myself as a team and was defended by everyone. If I scored, I could go and get two free throws, and the ball was mine. Then I started a lot of creative training, being able to practice dribbling, shuttle between three or four people, dribble behind the back, and then shoot, and physically fight with friends. It's really helpful."
