The King wants his ring...and it looks like it took a bitter sweet series against Dirk and the Dallas Mavericks for LeBron James to final understand what it takes win a NBA Championship.

National Basketball Association MVP James said he was determined to make up for last year's six-game loss in the Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

"Last year, I didn't make enough game‑changing plays, and that's what I kind of pride myself on," he said. "I didn't do that last year in the Finals.

"I'm just trying to make game‑changing plays, and whatever it takes for our team to win, just trying to step up in key moments and be there for my teammates."
