On Saturday night, LeBron James and some of his Cavaliers teammates were looking mighty relaxed as they enjoyed a Future concert. When talking to the media on Sunday afternoon, LeBron once again looked calm and unworried, even with the NBA Finals now less than a week away.
When asked about the Cavs' chances against the Warriors, LeBron further showed his confidence, saying he feels, "very good" about them.

On the one hand, of course he said this. What is he going to say? That he thinks the Cavs will probably lose but he's just happy to be here? No, obviously not; he's going to show confidence.
This isn't some sort of false bravado, though. Yes, the Warriors are perhaps the most talented team in NBA history, but LeBron is the best player in the world, and just last season helped the Cavs do the impossible in coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Emboldened by that experience, and knowing how well Cleveland has been playing in the postseason so far, it makes plenty of sense for LeBron to have faith in his squad.
