LeBron lavishes praise on victors

Minutes after the Miami Heat were beaten in the NBA Finals in a Game 5 rout, LeBron James conceded the San Antonio Spurs were simply a better team.

"That's how team basketball should be played," James told reporters after the 104-87 drubbing on Sunday that closed out the series and gave the Spurs their fifth championship.

"You know, it's self-less. Guys move, cut, pass, you've got a shot, you take it, but it's all for the team and it's never about the individual. That's their brand of basketball.
