LeBron James' quest for greatness can sometimes get in the way of the more important things in his life.

After noticing that his quest to be the best was taking away from his family life, the four-time MVP apologized to his wife Savannah for being too focused on his own journey.

"I am addicted to the process. I’m addicted to the process," James said on Monday's Road Trippin' Podcast. "It’s so funny. I just told my wife the other day, I apologized to her. She was like 'What are you apologizing for?' I said 'Because the journey that I’m on to want to be the greatest to ever play this game or to the point where no one ever forgets what I accomplished, I've at times lost the fact of how important you are to this whole thing. … I want you to understand that along this journey while I’m playing this game there will be times that I lose the fact of how important you and my three kids are - my babies are.'"

LeBron and Savannah have been together since their high school days, and have been married for more than three years.
