LeBron: NBA Is Better When Classic Teams Are Good

"I've thought about playing everywhere," James said prior to Thursday's loss against Chicago. "At one point in my life, I've thought about playing every team in the NBA."

When asked what he might tell the New York media before Friday's game, James said: "There will be a lot of intensity, the fact that we only play there once. July 1 is right around the corner, so it will be exciting. I'm looking forward to winning an NBA championship here. It is going to be a long season and I can't think about what is going to happen July 1 or after that or what I'm going to do. We'll see what happens, I've never given any indication I'll leave Cleveland or be somewhere else. It doesn't matter where I'll be, I'm good enough to help a team win basketball games."
