WATCH: Missed LeBron's Speech at the Cavs Championship Parade? See it Here.

LeBron James capped off a championship day in Cleveland with a heartfelt, unfiltered speech praising all of his teammates.


LeBron James was the last to speak at the Cavs Championship Rally and Parade in downtown Cleveland. LeBron acknowledged and thanked fans for the praise and compliments he's received for keeping his promise and returning to Cleveland but he quickly changed the focus of his speech to his teammates.

LeBron took time to thank every one of his teammates and shared a personal story about each of them. LeBron also shared something that took many by surprise — a bit of profanity. The curse words really weren't all that bad, and probably could be heard on some cable tv programming, the words just sort of underscored that LeBron was talking straight from the heart.
