Props to LeBron James for proving that there IS a shortcut to achieving success...
Sarcasm aside, the King (whose first championship didn't come nearly close enough to impressing me as much as that won by the Kings here in L.A. last week) still doesn't deserve to be compared to MJ or Kobe. Or even Dirk Nowitzki. All it took for LeBron to "earn" this title was having the pressure and expectations taken off him [pressure and expectations that His Airness, the Black Mamba and Dirk (to a somewhat lesser degree) thrived under] by playing with an established NBA champion like Dwyane Wade. But y'all already knew this. Props to Wade for luring the "Greatest Player in the NBA" to play in his city and not vice versa.
(Note to Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert: You didn't keep your promise about your team winning a title before LeBron did. You were probably preoccupied with helping NBA Commissioner David Stern ruin the pre-season trade that would've brought Chris Paul to the Lakers. For this, I'm actually glad that LeBron didn't win a ring in Ohio. Screw Cleveland... Moreso, that is.)
So enjoy your time with the NBA crown, King James... I'm sure that when Kevin Durant finally wins a title, it will be for Oklahoma City and not another town that he "can take his talents" to. (FYI, I despise the Thunder as well.) I know, I'm a hater. But at least I devoted a Blog entry to the Miami Heat's newly-bought championship. The Super Friends were pretty impressive against the Thunder in this year's Finals, but yea—this title was bought. But y'all already knew this.
