“I always look at it, would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don’t know. I’ve missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I’m almost starting to be like I’d rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn’t make the playoffs and I didn’t have a shot at it.” – LeBron James, Art by Denver Leishman
