OAKLAND, Calif. -- As his last on-court television interview of the night wrapped, LeBron James walked off the now silent Oracle Arena floor where he'd put up triple-double in the clinching Game 7.
He made a long, winding trek through barren concrete tunnels until he reached the Oakland Raiders locker room neighboring O.co Coliseum, which had been transformed into a makeshift studio for the Cleveland Cavaliers to snap photos holding their newly captured Larry O'Brien Trophy.
There were three portraits James wanted to take. The same as his other two championships: one with his wife, Savannah, and children (this was his infant daughter Zhuri's first); one with his lifelong friends Maverick Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims; and one with his mother, Gloria.
