LeBron James and Miami Heat are champions
“Perceptions better change, OK?” Heat forward Mike Miller said before Game 5. “You would be looking at a three-time MVP and a world champion. There’s a very, very, very, very, very short list of those. A very short list. The way I’ve seen him improve in just the two years I’ve been around him, I’ve seen the maturation the whole time, and it’s a scary thought because it’s not going to stop. It’s a freight train right now.”
James is 27 years old. Michael Jordan was 28 when he won the first of his six championships.
Which raises one question that might just scare a few people around the NBA: Could this just be the start of what James is going to accomplish?
Maybe.
“I see LeBron James,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “I see the best and most dominant player in the game.”
Most talked-about as well.
He regretted lashing out at a question about critics posed not long after last season’s finals ended, one where he answered by saying “I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things I want to do.” That criticism was deserved. But some is just silly. He even takes heat for his hairline.
