ABC sideline reporter Doris Burke asked James about how it felt to finally find the rhythm on the jumper after all the time he'd invested in improving it.

"I work on my game a lot," James said. "Throughout the offseason, I put a lot of work into it. And to be able to come out here and [have] the results happen out on the floor is the ultimate ... it's the ultimate. I'm at a loss for words."

Luckily, that wasn't the case when it came time to discuss the seemingly endless outside pressure and electron-microscope-level scrutiny James faces.

Heading into Game 7, plenty of ink was spilled and words exchanged about how every game seems like the biggest game of LeBron's life and, in the eyes of some, will always serve as some sort of referendum on James' talent, demeanor and place among basketball's immortals. When Burke asked how he's managed to continue to perform at such a high level in the midst of all those external stresses, James reached for some inspiration from noted NBA fan/philosopher Lil Wayne.

"Listen, for me, I can't worry about what everybody say about me," James said, as the AmericanAirlines Arena faithful cheered. "I'm LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city. I'm not even supposed to be here. That's enough.

"Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a number 6 [jersey] with 'James' on the back," he continued. "I'm blessed. So what everybody's saying about me off the court don't matter. I ain't got no worries."

What he does have, though, is one of the most impressive 18-month stretches in NBA history, with consecutive regular-season Most Valuable Player awards, consecutive NBA titles and consecutive NBA Finals MVP trophies bracketing an Olympic gold medal. While a 2013-14 season that starts in 133 days will surely give him plenty to gnash his teeth over, on this night, LeBron James has the basketball world on a string, and there's not a thing in that world that he's got to worry about.
