CLEVELAND (AP) – LeBron James took one last look over his shoulder at the scoreboard in Oracle Arena just to be sure.
It was all so surreal, unimaginable.
When James eyes saw only zeroes on the clock, he threw his arms around Kevin Love and time seemed to stand still. Game 7 of the NBA Finals was over as was a comeback for the ages. Golden State’s one-year reign and dream season ended and so did Cleveland’s 52-year championship drought.
James delivered on his personal pledge to bring home a title in June. And although it’s one he can never duplicate personally or for a fan base that had its heart broken and healed by him, the Cavaliers superstar and his teammates aren’t resting, getting comfortable or complacent. They want more.
“We’re still pretty much uptight,” James said. “We’re not satisfied with what we did.”
