Lebron Gets a Ring

June 22, 2012


     It's a nightmare come true. The native traitor of Ohio has finally won his first ring.  First things first, I hate Lebron more than any other athelete in the world, but I have to admit that he is the most athletic player in the NBA without a doubt, standing at 6' 8" 250lb.  He's a beast, he should be playing football.  But lets get to the point.
     The fact of the matter is, Lebron, Dwayne Wade, Bosh, and the whole Miami bench played hungrier, smarter, and with more energy than the younger Oklahoma Thunder.  They clearly outplayed them and stopped an incredible team with a lot of momentum behind their back.  But at the age of 27, it has taken Lebron 9 years to get his first Championship.

     Now Russel Westbrook is going to get a lot of criticism for his poor shot selection as well as shooting the ball too much.  He shot 20-32 in game 4, which probably encouraged him to shoot more in game five, compared to Kevin Durant's 9-19.  In game 5 Westbrook shot 4-20, while Durant shot 13-24.  The ball should have been in Durant's hands in the 4th quarter like it has been this entire playoffs instead of Westbrook's hands.  It's obvious to everyone that Kevin Durant is the first option, I don't understand why Westbrook would try to take over 3 games in a row.  I get that he is a natural 2 guard, I guess he needs to understand his role as a point guard.  The Leuzinger high school alumni very well could have defeated his own team by trying to lead, but we'll never really no.  Too continue, the bench didn't show up like they did the rest of the playoffs (with exception to Harden) and nobody really stepped up to be that X-factor that wins games either.  Overall, there wasn't that spark in the Thunder's eyes like there was during the rest of the playoff.  There wasn't that intensity or that confidence either.  They are a very young team and it showed, their average age is 26.6 years between a 12 man roster (The 1976 Portland Trail Blazers are the youngest team to win a championship, averaging 24.5 years between a 12 man roster).  They have a lot of time to learn and gain more experience and their time to win a championship will come.
     I'm NOT going to say that Lebron is the best player in the NBA because he's not.  He has only won one championship, he needs to defend his title.  It's like being an undisputed champion in boxing.  Besides that he definitely earned his title, he played some of the best basketball he has ever played, and he did it as a team player rather than by himself (showing that he has matured a little).  Dwayne Wade has contributed a lot to that and I really believe he instilled the champion spirit in Lebron.  There's no "I" in Lebron James and I think he learned that and I believe that is why they won.  Overall, the Heat were just a better team.

      You can't say this season was fixed cause it wasn't (although the Lakers would've won if David Stern didn't veto the Chris Paul trade), you can't say this year didn't count due to the shorter season (because it does), and you can't say Lebron didn't earn this title (because he did).  All you can do is accept that the inevitable finally happened and move on.
     Having that said, I hate Lebron and I hope he never wins another championship again.  He is selfish, egotistical, and he sat out the end of game 4 which makes him a bitch.  To add on, I think Chris Bosh is a little girl and that he should have stayed on the Toronto Raptors because he looks like a dinosaur.  I hate Shane Battier, the way he looks, acts, and his attitude; he was probably ecstatic when he found out that he didn't have to guard Kobe this playoffs.  I think Dwayne Wade is chill. I hate erik spoelstra too, I'm not even going to capitalize his name, I think he's a shit coach and he sucks.
     So to Lebron James and the rest of the Heat, enjoy it while it lasts because the Lakers will see your sorry asses in the Finals next year.
