In tonight's episode of I Am More: OBJOdell Beckham Jr. shares his thoughts about LeBron James and how the NBA legend inspires him both on and off the field.

"I'm trying my very best to be like LeBron, to be a LeBron in my own way. But we're not the same, you know? I feel different than he does in certain ways," Odell explained. "I might not be able to express it in such a professional way that he does. He's a little bit older than I am. He's experienced more than I have. He's been through it. He's been through it [...] But to see the way that he carries himself, that's what I want. That's what I'm reaching for, is a legacy. Outside the field, but more so on the field. I'm trying to achieve some things and be a part of things that are special."
