## Resource

LeBron James still carries the sting of that 2011 Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks — a defeat he believes was just luck, and one he’ll bring up even years later to stir the fire. Jason Kidd, who played on that Mavs team, admits he’d only mention it if he wanted to rattle LeBron — and even Kidd doesn’t dispute the “lucky” narrative. For all his championship glory, that one loss remains a haunting ghost in LeBron’s legendary career. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
