LeBron James: Reaching NBA Finals is "very emotional"

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James admits that he is "very emotional" after helping the team reach the NBA Finals for just the second time.

LeBron James has said that he feels "very emotional" to be in the NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers following their series-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks.

The 118-88 victory sends the Cavaliers through to the finals for just the second time in the team's history, with their only previous appearance resulting in a 4-0 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs in 2007.

Having quit the Miami Heat to return to his hometown team last off-season, the four-time MVP told ESPN: "I understood what these people were going through, the people here. Not only in Cleveland but North-East Ohio and all over the world who love and bleed wine and gold. To be at this point tonight, it's very emotional."

Cleveland will face either the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets in the NBA Finals, which get underway next month.
