After winning the 2020 Finals, LeBron James was asked if felt like he had something to prove again during the past few years as he had said previously that he felt like he was beyond that.

"I think personally thinking I have something to prove fuels me," said James. "It fueled me over this last year and a half since the injury. It fueled me because no matter what I've done in my career to this point, there's still little rumblings of doubt or comparing me to the history of the game and has he done this, has he done that.

"So having that in my head, having that in my mind, saying to myself, why not still have something to prove, I think it fuels me."

James also compared winning this title within the bubble to previous ones in his career.

"I think they are all special in their own right. They all have their obstacles, things that went on throughout the course of the year, both on and off the floor.

"But one is not less than the other, because when you're able to put yourself in this position to be able to win a championship, first thing you start to think about is how much work you've put in over the course of the year. How much you've sacrificed, how much you've dedicated to the game and to your craft. That's always been the most fulfilling thing for me, besides seeing my teammates as happy as they are. Being able to know that you can put the work in, literally trust the process, live about the process and then see the results. I think not only from a basketball player, but from everybody, whatever craft, whatever workspace you're in, to be able to put the work in and live along the process and build along the process and be able to see results, I think we all live for that moment."
