Game 7 of the NBA Finals was over as was a comeback for the ages. Golden States one-year reign and dream season ended and so did Clevelands 52-year championship drought.James delivered on his personal pledge to bring home a title in June. And although its 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 arent resting, getting comfortable or complacent. They want more.Were still pretty much uptight, James said. Were not satisfied with what we did.A three-time champion, and at 31 still the most complete player on the planet, James, who has acknowledged wanting to chase down Michael Jordan and his six league crowns, will again lead a Cleveland team expected to win the Eastern Conference and make a third straight finals trip. There doesnt appear to be much in their way.Clevelands Big 3 -- James, Love and Kyrie Irving -- have finally meshed after two turbulent, strange seasons when the trio of All-Stars were often disconnected.

Not only the people playing, but everyone that lives around the area. They deserve it.BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: James, who has been to six straight finals, knows what it takes win back-to-back championships after doing it in Miami.Dont become complacent, he said.
