Cleveland forward LeBron James turned 24-years-old on Tuesday but believes that he's much older than that on the inside.
"Someone asked me how old I was turning," James said. "I told them 24. I'm young but I have an old soul. "
James is a team captain, a father, an Olympic champion, and is head of an international business enterprise.
"At the end of the day I am not perfect, but I have a good sense about life, and my family's life, and what direction we want to head it," James said.
"That keeps me calm, the security we have is under control."
