How difficult have the NBA Finals been for LeBron James? The basketball icon likened battling the Golden State Warriors to facing another sports dynasty.

"The margin of error is very low. It's almost like playing the Patriots," James said following Game 3 of The Finals.

James and his Cleveland Cavaliers trail the Warriors 3-0 in their best-of-seven series following a 110-102 loss Wednesday night.

The Cavaliers have had chances to make the series a competitive one, most notably in Game 1, when late errors cost them a shot at victory.

"You just can't have mistakes. They're not going to beat themselves," James said while comparing the Warriors to the Patriots.

"If you're able to force a miscue, you have to be able to capitalize and then you have to be so in tuned and razor sharp and focused every single possession, you can't have miscommunications, you can't have lulls, you can't have my faults or my bads because they're going to make you pay."

The entire AFC knows what you're talking about, LeBron.
