LeBron James Doesn't View This Season as a Disappointment

LeBron James has spoken candidly about the season and despite the way it ended, doesn’t view it as a disappointment.

“I don’t know. I guess when you get over 40 you start forgetting s— that happened,” James said. “So I don’t even remember the last times walking off the court. Listen, like I said, s—, I left everything out on the floor. I control what I can control. I hate losing, obviously, but I was locked in on what we needed to do. I tried to make sure my guys were locked in on what we needed to do throughout the postseason.

“Obviously we fell a little short, but I’m not looking at my year as a disappointment. That’s for damn sure. Especially since I was put into some positions I’ve never played in my career before. Actually in my life. I’ve never been a third option in my life. So to be able to thrive in that role for that period of time and then have to step back into the role that I’ve been accustomed with over my career, or my life, and be able to thrive under that and my teammates allowing them to lead them under extreme circumstances, that was pretty cool for me at this stage in my career.”

James certainly has a big decision to make this summer, one that everyone will be closely monitoring.

He may well just walk away from the game altogether, but if he does return to the league, it wont be on a vet minimum, according to the latest reports.

“Last Tuesday…I said that there were many people around the league who thought that LeBron should take a veteran minimum salary,” said NBA insider Jake Fischer. “It does not sound like that is actually in the cards at all. I wanna be very, very clear about that after some text messages and phone calls I received.”
