LeBron James admitted he is not happy about losing to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals but addressed Cleveland Cavaliers' fans.

"It hurt to lose, and I'm still in a little funk right now, but I'm trying to work my way out of it," James said in a video posted Saturday for Bleacher Report.

"You know, for a team that's first getting together, in our first year to be able to reach the Finals -- not saying I'm happy with the results, but I'm proud of our guys. Just the growth that they had from the first day we walked in the gym to the other day, us losing, I'm proud of the guys and what they was able to accomplish."

James said he has no regrets to return to the Cavaliers.

"Being back home is everything that I dreamed of, everything that I thought about," he said. "Being back with these fans, being back with this community, just being back here and trying to bring joy to this city, which deserves it. Bringing a sense of pride to this city, which deserves it. Giving this city something to talk about, which they deserve."

"Hopefully I can put our team in position once again to try to compete for a championship next year and year in and year out. That's my goal, and my inspiration hasn't changed."
