Wow! What a great time to be an NBA fan. Just another great game to cap off whats been a classic NBA playoffs.
As for Lebron James... pure greatness! Can't believe there hasn't been post yet about this guy. Did anyone just watch what I just watched? This is truly one of the best athletes to ever play sports. I was too young to fully appreciate Michael Jordan, but I always idolized Kobe Bryant and all the amazing things he has done. Then there was DWade in '06, which is still probably the best NBA Finals performance I've ever seen (my favorite player to this day). Now there's Lebron James, and I think without question is best player to play since Jordan. What Lebron does on a consistent basis is what separates him from any other athlete. When he's not putting up 30 10 and 10, we seem to freak and ask "what's wrong?". We expect that from him every night. That's how good he is.
I admit I wasn't the bigget Lebron fan before he came to the Heat. It certainly didn't help when he made "The Decision", and froze in the NBA Finals against the Mavs. But just watching his play for the past two post-seasons, and the fact that he improves on his game every year (shoot % has gone up for the past 6 seasons). I couldn't help but become a fan. And yes it helps that I'm a Miami Heat fan.
People seriously need to take off there hater-goggles, and just appreciate greatness. Because you're missing out. I guarantee you'll enjoy the game of basketball much better.

Bandwagon ass muthafuckas.
I have to say though the way James is carrying himself I have a new found respect for him and think I will let his past (immature) indiscretions go from now on. He seems like an alright guy.

SPORTS RADIO: "Will this team [The Heat] be intact come next season?"
MIAMI MEDIA: "LeBron is the greatest player ever!"
CLEVELAND MEDIA: "F*ck LeBron. And the Browns still suck."
HEAT FANS: "Yeah! We won! Let's hit the beach!"
THE AVERAGE SPORTS FAN: "I haven't followed the NBA since Jordan and that other guy."
BOB COSTAS: "If we've learned anything from this year's NBA finals, it's that the New York Mets still don't have a legitimate closer."
DRAKE: "Do you f*ckers know who I am?? I'm Drake!! Somebody get LeBron!! F*ck!!"

I gotta admit that I'm rooting for the Birdman to get a ring. I love how that guy plays, but it's going to be a tough series with Wade less than 100%, and the Spurs rested and playing so well ...should be a great series !
Spurs played well but could have used an experienced closer like Captain Jack in Games 6 and 7. Congrats to the Birdman and the Heat. Great comeback and a well-deserved Title (plus put a little cash in my pocket) !

I like some of the moves for Brooklyn and the Clips so far this offseason...So I'll probably be rolling with them next year...once again underdogs, but with alot of potential IMO...also I expect my Wiz to finally get to the playoffs this year with a pretty nice draft and a decent roster...In the meantime, however, time for Summer League !
Really excited to see my Bulls play tonight. I fully expect them to meet the Heat in the conference finals this year
