"I'm proud of watching him play. I'm mad about him," he said. "I think he is more than an individual. He has started a new craze across the world. I will support him like I'll cry for China at the Olympic Games."
The All-Star forward was pleased to learn that he has such a big influence on Chinese basketball fans after spending only three seasons in the NBA, just like his idol Michael Jordan.
"I want to share with you my style of playing basketball and I hope what I do in the NBA inspires Chinese young players to have more passion for the sport," James said to his adoring fans.
Two crowns?
James led the Cavaliers into the NBA Finals last season, but fell just short in his quest for a championship. The 22-year-old is, if anything, even more ambitious for 2008 - "King" James hopes to be crowned twice.
James dreams of leading the Cavs to their first NBA title, and hopes to follow it up with a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
"I am always a leader on the Cavs," James told China Daily. "I will grow and become a better leader and lead our team. As an individual, as a basketball player, I want to keep on improving every summer.
"I want my team to go further in the playoffs, and that means winning the championship."
James was not shy about hiding his ambitious Olympic quest. "The goal is clear for everybody on the team - we want the gold," he said. "I think it's a big challenge for us, and I think it's going to be a great experience trying to bring USA Basketball back on top and bring it back to dominance."
