 SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Headphones tilted back on his head, LeBron James walked the Cleveland Cavaliers through the shadowy tunnel and into the arena's gleaming lights — and their first NBA finals. "We're here now!" James shouted. He brought them. And he will decide how far they'll go.
Tagged as the face of the league and saddled with huge expectations, James arrived at basketball's ultimate stage Wednesday as the Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs practiced for the last time before Thursday's Game 1 at AT&T Center.
The climactic setting is a new one for the Cavaliers. It was only four years ago when they won 17 games while playing in front of as many empty seats as filled ones at home.
