When fans think of the defining moments of LeBron James‘ career, the 2011 NBA Finals don’t immediately spring to mind.
However, losing to the Dallas Mavericks was a defining moment for the four-time MVP, who used it as a learning experience to help lead the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA titles.
On his HBO show The Shop, James explained how overcoming his team’s six-game Finals defeat is his greatest achievement (h/t Sports Illustrated‘s Ben Golliver):
