The NBA Finals appear to be in control by the San Antonio Spurs, as the Miami Heat were completely blown out in Game 3 on the road and with LeBron James not playing his best he is getting it from all sides, including from UFC fighter Chael Sonnen.
According to Yahoo Sports, Sonnen called James a "dork" while appearing on "The Jim Rome Show" and also ripped his team overall. James had a rough game on Tuesday night and while he feels the Heat can come back, it will be tough against a deep Spurs team that has proven it can beat James and the Heat at their own game. Sonnen said that it was wrong for the team to call themselves "world champions" since the NBA is only done in America and he said it should be called a national title and not a world title. Technically the NBA has a Canadian team so there is some international flavor, while the Spurs also have a number of international players, including Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Sonnen trained for the Olympics and fights in MMA, although he has lost his last two fights. The Heat not have to rally from a 2-1 deficit to get back into the finals and James said that it will be up to him to get things right.
"I think LeBron's a dork. He won one world championship, and that was in the Olympic Games. It's so aggravating to hear a title be called a 'world champion' when it's only done in America. It's not a global event where the whole world can participate. You didn't win a world title. You won a national title."
