Cleveland Cavaliers fans endured another NBA Finals letdown on Friday but worse could yet follow with LeBron James' future in doubt.
James, who has led the team to four straight NBA Finals since returning to Cleveland in 2014, is widely expected to sign elsewhere as a free agent after July 1.
"I have no idea at this point," James told reporters after Cavs were swept in four games by the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
"Sitting down and considering everything, but my family is a huge part of whatever I'll decide to do in my career, and it will continue to be that."
Despite claiming the Eastern Conference crown for a fourth straight year, James was given a blunt reminder of how far short the Cavs are as they failed to win a game against a team who have won three of the last four NBA titles.
"I still have so much to give to the game," James added. "When you have a goal and you're able to accomplish that goal, it actually - for me personally, it made me even more hungry to continue to try to win championships."
When James first left the Cavs in 2010 to join Miami, where he won two titles, it sparked riots in Cleveland as locals burned replicas of his No 23 jersey and hurled rocks at a 10-story banner of him that towered over the city.
