Hi, and welcome to SportsCenter. Alongside Josh Elliott, who no longer works here but the author was too lazy to find a better picture, I'm Hannah Storm. The King...has his crown. LeBron James has his first of what certainly will be many rings after leading his Heat to a 97-84 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in Miami. South Beach is rocking. What a historic postseason run by the greatest natural talent the National Basketball Association has possibly ever seen.
And now, LeBron James, possibly the most clutch postseason player the league has ever seen, the 2012 regular season MVP, Finals MVP, the accolades go on and on. Guys, Michael Jordan won his first title after his seventh season in the league. He, of course, went on to win six. LBJ now has his first title after his ninth season. How many more can he get? Can he get to seven? I think he can, and I think he will.
To all you people crying about the way the Heat came together--cry me a river! LeBron has dealt with expansion! He's dealt with incompetent general managers! He didn't have a savvy front office type to draft a Kevin McHale or a Robert Parrish or a Scottie Pippen or a James Worthy. He had to do it himself! I'd say this is the single most impressive victory in the history of sport. LeBron was the MVP, coach, and GM of this team! Hail to the King! I'm a loyal servant!
Guys, masterful job by Erik Spoelstra. This guy can flat out coach. Hell, he may be the best coach in the league. Sources are reporting that Pat Riley has offered him a reported 25-year contract to reportedly coach the Heat at a reportedly staggering $12 million a year, but Spo reportedly wants to take a vacation with his family and reportedly think it through.
Well, before we shift our focus to the draft, who do you have winning next year? You know who I have? The Heat! They're going to win the title the next 37 years. Who cares that I said the Spurs two weeks ago, or that I said the Thunder would win the next eight titles a week ago. Accountability sounds like one of Superman's powers, right? Guys...can the Heat go 82-0 next year?
Guys, what's wrong with Kevin Durant? Can the guy even play basketball anymore? I mean, he's never won anything anywhere he's been. His Texas team got bounced early in the tournament, and he went 0-2 against Kansas. His first year in Seattle they went 20-62. I mean, scoring titles are nice, but sooner or later this guy's gonna have to start producing. He needs to put on some muscle, get stronger, develop a post game, play meaner defense, become a better dribbler, a crisper passer, a more efficient shooter, and that's just the beginning.
Is Russell Westbrook on his way out of town? Sources are saying the Rondo-for-Westbrook talks are heating up again, or, wait for it, the Lakers! The Knicks?
