Minutes after his Cleveland Cavaliers lost the 2017 NBA Finals to a juggernaut Golden State Warriors squad, LeBron James was still playing hard-nosed defense.
When asked for his take on superteams, given his role in forming two famous superteams, James pushed back: "I don't believe I've played for a superteam. I don't believe in that. I don't believe we're a superteam here. So, no, I don't really, I don't."
LeBron was drawing a line, implying that his Miami and Cleveland championship teams had been built differently than the Warriors. "Their team was already kind of put together," James said.
