Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love has praised the performances of LeBron James in guiding his side to the NBA Finals.
James has been in outstanding form for the Cavaliers throughout the playoffs, and Love believes that his displays have been made more pivotal after he went down for the season, while Kyrie Irving has also missed time due to a knee injury.
"I think it's tough. Was he bouncier at one point? Physically, it's tough to say," Love told reporters. "But as far as up here [mentally], I think he's ahead of where he was.
"Being able to make everybody around him better, it's a great quality. He doesn't lack that at all. I think he's truly done a phenomenal job with guys going down and helping others to play better."
The Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors in game one of the NBA Finals on Thursday.
