The Miami Heat’s NBA Finals victory now cements LeBron James into the league’s franchise seat which was forcibly vacated by Kobe Bryant. I’m not mad at how LeBron achieved this title because even tho’ he didn’t display the killer DNA myself and so many other fans wanted to see from him Lebron showed a true grit and an ability to be an all-around basketball player.
The triple-double James recorded in the deciding game is an underrated feat. It describes the sacrifice to grab rebounds and the unselfish nature which is needed to help other players get baskets. For crissakes, Mike Miller, who is one quarter of the role player he once was looked like Bill Lainbeer, hitting threes and taking charges. That was LeBron James motivation which enabled Miller to be great.
LeBron will still be someone who I think cries to the refs too often but so did Jordan and Kobe in their own respective ways. At least now LeBron James has a ring so those tears will be champion tears instead of alligator tears.
