LeBron James says it will be difficult to deal with the 19-20 season ending without a champion being crowned should the NBA cancel the season outright.

"I don't know if I will be able to have any closure," James said Wednesday on a video conference call with reporters.

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the title favorites in James' second season with the franchise.

"I can have some satisfaction on what our team has been able to do this year, having a first-year coach, first-year system, a whole new coaching staff, bringing on so many new pieces to our team this year," James said. "Doing the things that I honestly -- like I told you guys all year -- I honestly didn't think that we would be able to come together as fast as we did. I thought it would take us a lot longer than it did. But I was wrong. I was very wrong about that."
