Recently, Lonzo Ball talked about James in his podcast "Ball in the Family Podcast with Lonzo & Gelo Ball".

Talking about James' loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 Finals, Ball said: "I think he should have won that series. This may be the only stain in his career."

In 2011, after James switched to the Heat, he met the Mavericks in the Finals. The two sides fought in 6 games, and the Heat lost the championship 2-4.
