LeBron James is excited for the 11-12 season to begin, even though the start date was pushed back and has been shortened to 66 games.

"I don't care if we had 66 games in 66 days," said James. "I'm so happy to be back."

James received a lot of criticism for his play during the 2011 NBA Finals, but he appears to have come to peace with it.

"I'm at a good place right now. Not much bothers me anymore."

James also sought out Hakeem Olajuwon to work on his post game.

"The experience was much bigger than basketball," said James.

James worked for most of the offseason on improving his ability to score in the post.
