Well now the Heat Dynasty can end and I won't have to hear a bunch of **** about Lebron being a choker, loser. He's not Jordan or even more of a competitor Bill Russell, but he is a great.
And haha and David Stern "champeens"
Once again the worst fans in the NBA get another title
LeBron with that smug look. The haters are so mad right now (I'm one of them but I'm already calming down.)
LOL That was a great speech by James but wow that dude is full of himself.

Now that that's overwith...bring on the draft!
I'm sad because after the draft there's no more basketball until October. Until then it's baseball.
LeBron really showed his maturity there as a player and a person.
Congrats to the Heat.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
VERY tough to watch.....

Vegas league starts soon
Now ESPN going to make this like it is the greatest thing that ever happened in sports. Pulllllleeeeaaazzzeeeee
Leonard has become my favorite young player in the league. What a series he had. It's up to Davis now to win back his place in my heart
Contributor
Yep. And then bring on some football. Football is going to take forever though. Ugh.

Between Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, got two of my kind of SFs to watch going forward. Young with worlds of potential.
This, we going to win the summer league championship lead by summer league MVP Austin Rivers
The Imp is a hater.
Who else wants to feed Lebron James to Khaleesi's dragons?

I most angry that Miami validated the premise that players can conspire to get together and win championships. I wanted the Spurs to win just to end this premise within the NBA. Looks like it's the way to go. Get lucky and hope your star on your team is good friends with 2 other stars.
Few Notes on tonight's win:
- Pretty much what I said had to to happen for the Heat did, the shooters and role players (Battier, Chalmers, etc.) made up for the lack of production from Bosh, Wade was crazy, and Lebron was knocking down shots that I didn't even think he could make. Pop did the best he could with what he had but like he said, "They're just a better team. They have more talent." Spurs couldn't get the outside game going which allowed MIA to crash down on Timmy and Parker.
- THANK GOD DAVID STERN IS GONE!!! Now please get a commish in here who can make this game we call basketball reputable again. That means an actual hard cap, better revenue sharing, make college players stay longer, etc.
- Tonight's win for the Heat is bad for the NBA. This only adds more fuel to the "Big 3" fire.
- Also, I'mma keep it simple, if CP3 & Dwight don't form some type of union this year, I don't see a team coming CLOSE to even touching the Heat. Think about it, what team can really touch the Heat? Spurs are gone, Celtics are rebuilding, Bulls won't have money to build, Clippers inconsistent, Thunder needs a new coach. I can see the Heat going for 3 more titles before someone even comes close to knocking them off.
But regardless, congrats to the Heat. But to be honest, the whole "ring" thing is getting overrated.

Uh. Pacers were a competent point guard away from beating them. Unless the Heat get better bigs they'll still have to contend with an older, more skilled Rou Hibbert and an older, more expirienced Paul George. They didn't even win THIS Finals with ease.
It ain't the Heat and the field.
I was about to say the same thing. there was really an abses of quality young 3's outside of Lebron and Melo out there, but these two guys give a lot of hope.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

The Spurs also kept going under the screen for LeBron once they saw his jumper was wet. I really don't get why they weren't hedging hard into a double to get the ball out of his hands. Wade's shots were all rythem jumpers and you have to live with that if he's settling for the 17 footer instead of driving. He wasn't using screens and was just going 1 on 1. Chalmers didn't hit a 3 and i wish they would have sagged off of him a little more.
You're kidding about Stern, right?
HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE BASKETBALL REPUTABLE!!!!
The ring thing is overrated? Seriously?
Great two young guns going forward. I really like Leonard, a do it all to help the team win and I think will turn into an All Defense Team selection down the road.
Wait getting a ring is overrated? Then why are we even watching and supporting New Orleans?
Contributor
Yeah, it is overrated. How does a ring mean LeBron is any less the best player to ever play the game? Two rings, a lot of people have two rings that are garbage.
It's a great lil' bit of validation on a career, but LeBron IS arguably the best to ever lace up. Size, strength, speed, skill, power. He's got it all in a way no one else can touch. And he's becoming one of the best defenders I've ever seen.
But only with two rings can he enter the convo? It seems a lil' silly to me.
LeBron is not the Heat, no matter what ESPN or whoever would lead you to believe. A ring is overrated for a player individually. But for a franchise? Hell no.
