With the score of 121-106, Miami Heat passed through Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 of 2012 NBA Finals and winning their Champion crown on Thursday. LeBron James finally got his first Champion ring after nine years of his professional basketball career after high schoo.
The “King” made a triple-double in this crucial game, 26 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists, ending his Final series with impressive average of 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists.
“I'm happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I've been drafted, that I can finally say that I'm a champion, and I did it the right way," said reining Most Valuable Player.
"I didn't shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off. It's a great moment for myself."
LeBron’s teammates gave him enough support for this fight. Big Three members Chris Bosh added 24 points for the Champion team, Dwyane Wade ended with 20 points. One of the most excited players last night was Mike Miller, who got out from the bench and contributed 23 points for the Heat, with seven 3-pointers.
James had to bear with all of the critics after the infamous “decision” two years ago to join Miami Heat and to make the strongest team in league. Then, he had to face the depressing failure at last year’s final. But now, LeBron James and his team finally get rid of those shame and pain and stopped the questions about if this team could win their title.
Now, we are wondering how much more NBA Champion will LeBorn James and the Big Three win in the rest time of their careers.
