While the world celebrates the victory of the Golden State Warriors over the Cleveland Cavaliers, shoe giant Nike decides to stick to the latter's star player and pay tribute to the efforts of the "king" himself, Lebron James. In the upcoming ad to be launched by Nike following the conclusion of the finals, the shoe brand highlights the dedication, passion, and strength of James, according to SB Nation.

In a social media post by Darren Rovell, an ESPN sports analyst, it is seen how the brand shows off the message fans and followers of both the shoes and the player should realize despite the defeat of the Cavaliers.

The post reads:

Imagine if Lebron came home to Cleveland.

Imagine if the team struggled early but finished the regular season strong.

Imagine if their big man went down, but they still found a way to power through the Eastern Conference.

Imagine if they faced the top seed in the Finals.

Imagine if they pushed Game 1 to overtime but lost another star to injury.

Imagine if everyone counted them out.

Imagine if they shocked the world and took the next two games.

Imagine if fatigue caught up with them, and they lost Games 4 and 5.

Imagine if they defied odds, logic and the basketball gods to come back and win the series in 7.

Except this isn't Hollywood. It's Cleveland.

Nothing is given. Everything is earned.

Meanwhile, James acknowledges that he is still reeling over the loss his team suffered recently. "It hurt to lose, and I'm still in a little funk right now, but I'm trying to work my way out of it," he says, according to ESPN. Addressing the fans in the said video, James admits that he is not pleased with the outcome of the games but he applauds his teammates for the efforts they exerted throughout the season. He shares, "You know, for a team that's first getting together, in our first year to be able to reach the Finals -- not saying I'm happy with the results, but I'm proud of our guys."

"Just the growth that they had from the first day we walked in the gym to the other day, us losing, I'm proud of the guys and what they was able to accomplish," he adds. James also clarifies that while their team failed to bag the championship this season, he has no regrets going back to Cleveland. In fact, the "king" is actually looking forward to the next season.

"Hopefully I can put our team in position once again to try to compete for a championship next year and year in and year out," James reveals. He goes on to say, "That's my goal, and my inspiration hasn't changed."
