Big news on the basketball front! LeBron James and the modern-day Miami Heat have finally won that elusive NBA Championship. LeBron was already widely regarded as the best player in the NBA and a ring for “The King” cements that. He not only banked a triple double in the closeout Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but won the Finals MVP award as well. He also won his third MVP award this past season, putting him in rare, Hall-of-Fame-level company.

It wasn't all LeBron James on Thursday night though. Former Sixth Man of The Year Mike Miller, stepped up big, hitting seven three pointers and clocking in 23 points overall. Miller battled injuries and the stress of being the parent of a child with serious health issues the last couple of seasons, but he played a huge role in the closeout game that was sure to be a great reward for his tough road.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh did their part, too. As Wade told ABC and ESPN in an interview during the postseason, the Heat are now LeBron James' team. Wade may have been there longer and won a ring before, but whatever changes he and the squad made this year, it obviously worked and led to an awesome result. Well, for Heat fans anyway. As for the young Thunder team, with a core that's an average age of 23, don't be surprised if they're back to the promise land soon enough. Are you happy the Miami Heat won the 2012 NBA Championship?

    Why are you so bitter? We had more to offer than Seattle did. It's their fault we have an NBA team, not ours.

    Well, the owner is from here and lives here; he would have brought the team here sooner but did not think we would want a pro team. When Katrina took out NO and their team came here to play out their season we loved it. During this time, to my understanding, they were undergoing some stuff regarding the team up there. We voted on building them a place if they relocated here...so the ball was in Seattle's court (no pun intended).

    If you look at all the stories about this win - The Heat didn't win it - it was all LeBron James - The King has his Crown
    I'll be happy not to have to hear about him for awhile...

    Deserved? no, no one deserves anything but the rights protected under the constitution.

    Earned? yes.

    However the question will always remain is will LeBron every be able to win without another star player beside. The LeBron-Wade duo will eventually become the Kobe-Shaq duo, where fans couldn't see who was more essential to the team. Which did result in success however it hurt their individual legacies until Kobe won 2 after Shaq.

    Also the idea of the top stars grouping together is a perfect example of socialism. Thrusting competition out of the market. I think you will start to see lot's of star players avoid the eastern conference for that very reason.

    It's the same with scandals in football. Tom Brady has yet to win a ring since spygate.

    Shaq won one after their split as well and then later on retired.

    When the refs are your 3 extra players and everyone INCLUDING Lebron act as if he was alone on that court-NO, they did not.

    If winning by home-cooking is well deserved then ok. Most of their point came from 3 point free throws and they got most of those on bad calls. If all the fouls that were made on OKC were given (let's not even factor in called) they would have beat the Heat by 30+ points.

    The haters were on the court with the whistles.....the King Whiner got his ring.
