LeBron James and the Miami Heat

As I was reading my book for class tonight I was watching the introduction of the new look Miami Heat, replete with Bosh and James. Also, I have seen the coverage a jilted Cleveland up in arms about LeBron and his departure. Cleveland, he is never coming back except to play y'all and visit. GET OVER IT. The only thing you can do now is get going on that ridiculous claim your owner made in that he GUARENTEED a title in Cleveland before Bron gets one in Miami. At the end of the day, Lebron said he was about winning and his decision would comply with that proclamation and that is exactly what he did. He stuck to his word. I can hardly blame him for leaving. The Cavs were going nowhere and that wasn't good enough. Maybe Cleveland should have seriously gone after Amare at the deadline and things would be different.

I think that the dynasty in Miami will have to get it's feet wet next year but expect multiple titles to go to the Miami Heat in the coming years.

Welcome Back

So it will be the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Despite the fact that Detroit has let me down once again, I am somewhat glad that these two will be squaring off. It is good for the NBA. This match up will bring back all the dads that abandon the NBA once Mike left. I think that is good for the NBA that these two illustrious franchises are prominent. It does not help the NFL when the Cowboys suck nor does it help the MLB when the Sox or Yanks aren't in contention. After reading a book on the Celtics, it was hard to imagine them at the pinnacle of the basketball world for so many years. After all I missed the Bird years so I have never seen the Celtics actually in contention but once a few years back. It will be an interesting Finals. I do not think that Kobe and Pau can take Boston's Big 3. The X-factor is Odom. If he comes to play then Boston will have their hands full. 

Prediction: Boston in 6!

Something Quick

Call it blasphemy but I absolutely do not like Ladainian Tomlinson(I'm not apologizing for misspelling his name). Even though he is the pride of Waco University and TCU but he really needs to shut his mouth. The bane of his existence is the New England Patriots, most especially Bellicheck. He constantly jumps at the opportunity to bash them. It started last year when the Chargers hosted the Pats and he was upset at Ellis Hobbs for mocking Merriman's dance. There is one way to shut them up, WIN! The rules of trash talking are simple: win and you can, lose and you can't. Besides who was the one who couldn't play in the AFC title game? Rivers had a blown knee and he put up one hell of a performance. 

Another item, Kobe wins the MVP. Well deserved but I still have to make the argument for Chris Paul. He single handily brought the Hornets from obscurity to 2-0 up on the Spurs. Only an absolute basketball junkie could name their starting line-up and you would be lying if you said that you even knew who David West was. Hats off to Kobe nonetheless but I think Chris Paul was more worthy this year.
