Miami Heat Win NBA Finals
First and foremost, Jordan and Kobe are still better than LeBron.
Now that that is out of the way, congratulations to LeBron James and the Miami Heat for winning the 2012 NBA Finals in a game five throttling of the Oklahoma City Thunder, 121-106. Love him or hate him, you can't deny that in this, his ninth season, James made a huge statement throughout the playoffs culminating in an NBA championship and a unanimous Finals MVP award.

Ironically enough, it was the "Others" who pitched in to help deliver the King his first title. James still posted a triple-double but Miller, Battier, and even Cole would not be denied. It's great to see LeBron and this team get that once-elusive title and finally silence the doubters--if only for one night.

The game was relatively even although the Heat looked to have the slight edge early on. Then, during the third, the Big Three took the reigns and their supporting cast made it rain. James scored 26, Bosh scored 24, and Wade added 20 points as the Thunder had appeared to have given in by the start of the fourth quarter.
The "Greatest Ever" comparisons are on their way and the haters will continue to downplay the title they said Bron Bron couldn't get. Regardless, congratulations to the Miami Heat (and the Thunder) and in the words of the King, "It's about damn time".

No one is arguing that he isn't one of the greatest players of all time. But you have to admit he is a sellout. I mean he wanted a title (and the Cavs weren't going to offer it to him quickly enough), and was willing to give up his reputation to get one. Hence the move to South Beach, there for selling out.
Is Lebron a sellout for having the 15th highest salary in a league where he is the best player? Is Lebron a sellout for talking absolutely ZERO trash throughout this entire season? No, I didn't think so. He is younger than Jordan was when he won his first championship and Jordan didn't exactly do it alone. Lebron plays hard on both sides of the court and is arguably the biggest athletic freak any of us will ever see with the basketball sense to drop 13 dimes and directly account for 60, YES SIXTY, points last night.

he was nasty all playoffs, i can't deny that... but there's nothing less likable than a sellout. Especially when he joins the two guys in the NBA that he actually CAME INTO THE DRAFT WITH, who were all SUPPOSED TO COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER. Such a bitch. The ONLY thing he has going for him is that he's not as ugly as Chris Bosh
Touche. He is kind of a bitch. And Delonte definitely banged his mom.
i hate him because he whines and has a general shitty attitude, that he had to join a team of superstars to win a championship, and that he still denies Delonte ever banged his mom
I'm not the biggest fan of LeBron, but do you hate him cause he can shoot, pass, and defend without breaking a sweat (mostly because of that headband). Or did he bang your girlfriend and now you have a personal vendetta against him? Or maybe it's because he took the last copy of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and you can't read it over the weekend...
DM; SHL
doesn't matter; still hate LeBron
Y'all are crazy. Haters are gonna hate. LeBron for life.
Couldn't agree more.
LeBron deserves the title but not in the way he did it. Such a sell out.
