    time to give lejames some credit

    Basically winning it all by himself. Let's face it this miami team is 90% james. He has no one and he makes everyone else look good on his team because of his talent. James will get his ring and he deserves it. It will probably be his only ring as okc will dominate for years after this lesson.

    Props to james.

    Could OKC vs MIA turn into a great finals rivalry like LAL vs BOS seriously I can see these two teams back here every other year.

    He had no one in Cleveland and walked of the court like a little bitch. Last time I checked he had some help in Miami. He already proved he couldn't do it by himself, that is why he took his talents to D. Wades team.

    It was amazing what he could do on one leg late. Basically the Willis Reed encore we saw tonight.

    We are all witnesses.

    paco, you're done for lol

    lakerman said james will never win a ring i think.

    playing with a first ballot hall of famer who he makes look good? Wade's defense won that game for mia. Everyone has played well for mia, not just james. of course, it took you until now to see what a beast he is, which is a shame.

    agree with laker, lebron deserves the credit. wade has dropped off this season from last year and bosh is a good not great player and battier chalmers even norris cole had their moments, but lebron has stepped up every game, even though he should have gutted the whole end of the game out last night, he hit the big 3 at the end.

    HUGE difference is, Lebron and Wade get the Phantom call, and OKC doesn't. Congrats to the nba refs for handing the heat a title...ABSOLUTE JOKE

    what bum in Cleveland could have helped him achieve anything? he carried 11 also Rans to the finals at the age of 22. people complain because he couldn't win til the ripe old age of 27, when most athletes hit their prime.finally the haters can "kiss da ring b#tch"

    Swap Chalmers and Harden, and this series may have been a sweep for OKC!

    Chalmers can be a #2 option on many teams!

    just because some of us don't care for the guy doesn't mean we were never giving the guy "props"....

    He is without a doubt one of the most talented players to ever touch a basketball, if not the most talented.

    Still, I'd like to see him violated with a broom handle.

    Sure, James carried the team but ALOT of credit goes to the supporting cast for stepping up and actually making some shots when they needed it most. And also playing incredible on the defensive end to help James get stops.

    This is a joke, because I'm pretty sure everyone said OKC was much more talented before the series started.

    I swear you post entirely for shock value. There is no way you believe this. Sure Lebron gets double teamed, which makes it easier on others. Pretty much every team in the league has a creator that is capable of drawing a double team. Roy Hibbert draws double teams making his teammates better. Monta Ellis draws double teams, making his teammates better. This is not new information.

    Lebron's Cleveland team had no other talent, hence the outcome. If you made this claim 3 years ago we would all agree.

    Wade and Bosh aren't top 5 players, but they are both US OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS so you might as well call them top 12 players. Chalmers last night proved he is at least a respectable role player. Shane Battier is the most highly respected role player since Robert Horry.

    This is a team game. Without Shane Battier's 5-7 performance in game 2, OKC wins. Without Wade, Bosh, and Battier playing great in game 3, OKC wins. Without Mario Chalmers in game 4, OKC wins. So basically if Lebron's teammates weren't playing at a very high level on both sides of the court, OKC would have swept. Just like Cleveland got swept by SAN.

    Oh and by the way, Miami's go-to play in the fourth quarter is a pick and roll between Wade and Bosh, and it has been all season. So despite the fact that Lebron James is undoubtedly the best player on the planet, he is still not the preferred option offensively down the stretch.

    Fact #1 - Lebron James is currently the best player on the planet.
    Fact #2 - If you truly believe what you wrote above, you are completely incompetent and hopeless.

    This post makes little sense considering the series is probably 3-1 OKC without the great efforts of Battier and Chalmers.

    James has a shit ton of help. Bosh, Wade, Chalmers, Battier, Cole, etc are all doing their part.
