Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is still thinking about the 2015 NBA Finals.

The 30-year-old James said to Bleacher Report Radio on Sirius XM that he has nightmares over how they lost to the Golden State Warriors.

"I just don't feel like you ever move on from losing in the Finals...because you feel like you're right there and feel like you have the opportunity to do something special," James said. "I can never get away from losing in the Finals."

The four-time NBA MVP and two-time NBA champion added, "I guess there's nightmares now about situations throughout the games that's always replaying in my head. It's definitely difficult, you know I'm getting better every day, but you know it takes quite a while for me to get out of the funk."

During the finals, James had to play without point guard Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love due to injuries. He averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists in the finals.

"If we had our two All-Stars in the lineup it gives us a better shot," James said. "Does it say we're gonna win the championship? Does not. You've still got to go out on the floor and play the game, but it definitely gives us a much better shot than we had."

Although the Cavaliers had the 2-1 lead at the beginning of the series, they could not hold off the Warriors, who won the final three games of the six game series.

In the interview, James added that being a father and seeing his three children more now that the season is over has helped him get over losing.

"I got these three kids running around this house every day that don't allow me to not be happy," James said.

James resigned with the Cavaliers. His two-year contract includes a player option.
