"You know, Frye is like a big brother to me, he's already had two great elite seasons, and I have to measure up to him, which of course is tough. I know there will be comparisons, it's inevitable, it's the media, the commentators' game, I won't be affected by it.

Then came the most controversial question of the interview.
About whether James would be willing to play for the country after the season ended.
"Of course! Of course!" James was extremely excited, "It's my dream, I believe it's every American's dream, and Athens is a city of dreams, I'd love to represent my country there, man, I can't think of anything sweeter than that!"
James's show of patriotism sent his jersey and sneaker sales soaring once again.
