Following the Cleveland Cavaliers' loss in Game 5, LeBron James was asked if he's feeling less pressure since his team is undermanned due to injuries.

"No, I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world," replied James. "It's that simple."

James was then asked a follow-up about feeling less pressure and expanded upon his thoughts.

"No, I mean, it's The Finals. It's something you dream of when you're a kid. For me, I put the work in. I put the work in every single day, either when you guys are there, either when you're not there. Some of our beat writers see me. They know how much work I put into it, and I give everything to my teammates.

"When you're true to the game, it doesn't matter if it's a regular season game or a Finals game, you just go out and trust what you put into the game and you live with the results. So shouldn't be crazy when I make threes, though. It's just a shot.
