And we are the first NBA Cup champions. No one will ever be able to surpass him. And it’s great to do it with a historic franchise and a group of funny, committed and competitive men,” said LeBron James for ESPN.
Obviously, for the prestige of this coronation, we will have to see, over time, the development of the NBA Cup. For the first edition, it is clearly a success. And the determination of LeBron James also contributed to this success.
