Excerpt from Lebrons ESPN interview When people think about the killer instinct, they always think of MJ and Kobe. Do people underestimate your killer instinct? People say you have it but not like those two. Do you think you have it like they do? Ahh. Ill just put it this way, man. There are different ways to hunt. I watch the Discovery Channel all the time, and you look at all these animals in the wild. And they all hunt a different way to feed their families. They all kill a different way. Lions do it strategically -- two females will lead, and then everybody else will come in. Hyenas will just go for it. There are different ways to kill, and I dont think people understand that. Everybody wants everybody to kill the same way. Everybody wants everybody to kill like MJ or kill like Kobe. Magic didnt kill the way they killed. Does that mean he didnt have a killer instinct? Kareem didnt either. But does that mean Kareem didnt have a killer instinct? The same with Bird. That doesnt mean you dont have a killer instinct. Tim Duncan dont kill like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, but Ive played against Tim Duncan twice in the Finals and I know for sure hes got a killer instinct. So there are different ways to kill. MJ had a killer instinct for sure. But if people really think that MJ didnt talk to nobody and didnt smile on the court, theyre crazy. Theyre crazy. Ive seen him. I was watching a clip the other day of him blocking Charles Barkley, and theyre laughing about the play -- on the floor. Right now, if I block Kevin Durant on the floor, or I block Carmelo Anthony and we laugh about it? Ahh, Im going to get killed [laughing]. Im telling you. But there are different ways of killing.
