“I don’t want to say it because it’s been talked about so much, but there are times when I wish I could do normal things,” LeBron James recently confided in The New York Times . “I’m not sitting here complaining, of course not. But sometimes it’s a challenge,” the basketball superstar said about the consequences behind his fame.

“I wish I could go out for a walk. I wish I could go to the movies and sit down and go get popcorn. I wish I could go to the park and the museum like normal people. I wish I could go to Target sometimes, go to Starbucks and have my name on my cup like everyone else,” the NBA legend said.
