He Finally Did It

LeBron James has reason to be happy. He silenced his doubters by putting in an MVP performance in Game 5. 

Congrats LeBron. You did it. You finally won an NBA championship. People finally have the evidence that you are the best player in the NBA right now. Along with your teammates Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Shane Battier, you lead your team to victory 121-106 in American Airlines Arena last night. LeBron, you put in a great showing. You scored 26 points, had 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, to complete a triple-double.

If anyone deserved a championship it was you. Why? LeBron has been ridiculed ever since he has left Cleveland. He has been chosen as one of the most hated athletes in America in a Forbes poll.  Even though at times he can be arrogant, (see the proclamation of multiple championships when introduced as a member of the Heat), he has still has played solid basketball. He has been made fun of in numerous jokes, from not winning a championship, to not being able to close out games. Everyone just wants to hate LeBron James.

As a result of LeBron's championship win, a serious debate can now be opened. Who was better, LeBron or MJ? People ignored this debate before, but did not realize that LeBron had more MVP's and more championship appearances. So, Congrats LeBron. You earned it, now let's see if you can do it again next year.
