The Cleveland Cavaliers may have only won six of their last 10 games, but as long as they have LeBron James on the roster, they’ll have a shot at winning any game.

LeBron reminded the world just how dominant he is when he went off against the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night. He went four-of-four for nine points in the final two minutes.

Cavs 113, Nuggets 108.
That’s why, for LeBron, it doesn’t matter where the Cavaliers are seeded at the end of the regular season. Sure, they may have fallen from conference favorite to third seed in the East. And for another team, that could be a big deal. Only two games separate the third seed from the fifth, and only 4.5 games separate them from the eighth.

But if you ask LeBron, the Cavaliers star who casually doubles as the best living basketball player on the planet, it doesn’t matter where Cleveland is seeded come playoff time.

He’s gonna give his playoff opponent a war.
“Listen, it doesn’t matter to me if I’m a six seed, a three seed, a two seed or an eight seed,” James said, before the humble brag: “If I come into your building for a Game 1, it will be very challenging.”

LeBron’s not lying
LeBron James has been to the NBA Finals in seven consecutive seasons, and only twice in those seven seasons has his team been the No. 1 seed in the East.

Here’s a breakdown of how he’s fared:
2010-11: Miami, 2nd — NBA Finals (lost to Mavericks)
2011-12: Miami, 2nd — NBA Finals (win against Thunder)
2012-13: Miami, 1st — NBA Finals (win against Spurs)
2013-14: Miami, 2nd — NBA Finals (loss to Spurs)
2014-15: Cleveland, 2nd — NBA Finals (lost to Warriors)
2015-16: Cleveland, 1st — NBA Finals (win against Warriors)
2016-17: Cleveland, 2nd — NBA Finals (lost to Warriors)
2017-18: Cleveland, ?

The narrative with LeBron has been the same all along. The King doesn’t care about regular season numbers. He’s chasing greats. He’s chasing championships. Champions are born in the playoffs, not in the regular season.

Now, LeBron’s teams are 2-0 when they make it to the Finals as the No. 1 seed in the East, and this season, he’s further from the top seed than he’s ever been. But did you hear his humble brag?

“If I walk into your building for a Game 1, it will be very challenging.”

I see no lie.
