LeBron James has little to worry about after winning his second consecutive championship, marking the second straight season that his Miami Heat get to have their celebratory parade down in South Beach.
Prior to the festivities that kicked off Monday, James sat down for an interview with CNN's Rachel Nichols and was asked about his 2014 opt-out clause, his first opportunity to explore free agency after three consecutive offseasons.
"I don't know," James, Most Valuable Player of both the 2012-13 NBA regular season and just-completed NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, said, "because I haven't really even thought about it. So when that moment comes up, I will approach it, like a professional, and we'll see what happens."
James joined the Heat as a free agent in July 2010, announcing his free-agency move from the Cleveland Cavaliers, in a nationally televised ESPN hour-long special.
It's been widely speculated that James plans to return to his former Cavaliers team after praising new rising star guard Kyrie Irving.
Since James' departure, Irving has given Cavaliers fans a reason to still be hopeful about the future after two disappointing seasons. Irving slowly became the face of the franchise after two seasons where he averaged 20.9 points per game, playing 32 minutes a night.
When asked about the possibility of playing with James, Irving insists that the thought never crossed his mind.
However, the combination would make for an interesting duo in the NBA, but we'll just have to just wait and see what happens.
