LeBron, how do you feel about coming in second in the MVP vote?

"Pissed me off. That's my true answer.  It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes, I got 16 first-place votes. That's what  pissed me off more than anything. You know, not saying that the winner wasn't deserving of the MVP. But  that pissed me off. And I finished second a lot in my career, either from a championship, and now four times as an MVP. I never came into this league to be MVP or to be a champion. I've always just wanted to get better and better every single day, and those things will take care of itself. But some things is just out of my hand and some things you can't control. But it pissed me off. I mean, I'm fine. Don't get it twisted. I'm perfectly fine. We're 1-0 in the Western Conference finals. I'm absolutely fine. So don't -- like I was pissed off at the reaction earlier when I saw it. I'm absolutely great now. I'm going back to my room, drink some wine and sleep very well tonight. Let's not get it twisted. I'm great. It's just the voting scale is a little weird to me sometimes."
