Going forward the sky is the limit for LeBron no doubt about it, with his skill set and the core pieces he has around him in Wade, Bosh, Chalmers, and let me not forget the guy who goes unsung in Erik Spoelstra. LeBron has evolved, and when I say that I mean the guy has matured. LeBron is a new man, it showed in his actions on the floor, none of the premature celebrations or dancing on the sidelines, this year it was all business. The turning point for me was when LeBron put a halt to Mario Chalmers premature celebration in the third quarter letting Chalmers know there was still another quarter left to play. The knock on LeBron was that he didn't have the mental stability that was needed to win a championship, well I have news for you he has it leading the Miami Heat to their second NBA Championship. That is scary for the rest of league, because getting the first one is the hardest, and now that the monkey is off his back there is a strongly possibility that Miami can real off four of five titles maybe even more.
Its still disappointing that so many people still hate a player who plays the right away, and is a good example for kids to look up to on and off the floor. I've heard all of the nonsense about LeBron being called "King James" fresh out of high school. People fail to realize that LeBron didn't get himself that nickname the media did. I also hear the "He'll never be Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant", he'll never be those two guys because he isn't that type of player. My favorite is that he isn't "Clutch" in the Finals LeBron came up big throughout the NBA Playoffs as well as being the closer. Outside of "The Decision" that was two years ago coming up, its time for people to let that go and embrace the greatness of LeBron, and what he brings to the game. Its insane to believe that people bash "The Decision" claiming that none of the previous greats would do such a thing, Jordan and Kobe didn't have to do that because their respective front offices surrounded them with premier talent. In Cleveland Dan Gilbert didn't surround LeBron with the proper talent he had no choice, it was a superstar surrounded by a bunch of role players and nothing more.
Players like LeBron James don't come around too often. Appreciate the talent that the guy has before its too late. As far as ranking him as one of the best he still has a long way to go before its all said and done.
