Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player in NBA history having won the MVP award in 2007 … but he has not won a championship.
Jason Kidd is one of the best point guards in NBA history with the second highest assists total and third highest triple-double count… but he has not won a championship.
Coming off from his worst playoff performance ever in Game 4, Lebron James vowed to step-up in Game 5.
He did, delivering the first triple-double in Miami Heat’s playoff history with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. However, when it mattered, he failed again.
The Miami Heat might have celebrated too early.
Up 15 by points 88-73 with 7:15 remaining in the game, you really can’t blame them. They are on a 13-0 run and seems headed for a 2-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in their 2011 NBA Finals series.
Lebron James is 3 games away from redemption.
Leading the Miami Heat with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Lebron finally win his first ever NBA Finals game with a 92-84 victory over the Dallas Mavericks while showing critics this is why he came to Miami in the first place.
At Lebron James’ homecoming last December 2, 2010 in Cleveland, there was anticipation if has the guts to do his pregame throwing-up-chalk-in-the-air ritual.
Apparently, he had. He even burned his former team in the 3rd quarter scoring 24 points on a sizzling 10-for-12 shooting to finish with 38 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds, despite not playing in the 4th quarter and getting the win 118-90.
In his second homecoming yesterday, Lebron himself expected that fan reception of him will not be as bad as that first one.
With the cry-gate scandal behind them, the Miami Thrice is finally starting to live up to the hype.
In a 125-119 win over the Houston Rockets today, Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh each posted at least 30 points and 10 rebounds for their fifth straight win and eight in nine games.
