James realised that he will need to apologise to his mother after realizing that he is also a loud parent. While speaking to the interviewers, James admitted that his mother used to be one of the loudest people in the stands while he was playing AUU. He added that his mother went 'crazy' at his opponents, the referees and also at his own coach and teammates. Back then, James used to tell his mother to calm down and lower her volume as he used to be embarrassed. James apologised to his mother formally on TV, though he has previously apologised personally. James is also not ashamed of his own antics on the court, and thinks it is all about supporting his children. James also said that his children are his source of extra motivation and he will need it throughout the season.
