Talk is cheap and there's always a lot of it in these parts. The King James' Version is ACTION. I watch with wonder and admiration and I keep my mouth shut except to cheer!

"King James" is just lucky that Rose can't play the finals. The true win is beating the best man/team. But if you only beat the 3rd best, it doesn't give you much except for little satisfaction.

Oh look at the bright side, he got one title.

One need to remember where Lebron James got Cleveland Cavaliers from, this was a no team James made them have a contender on the NBA. Imagine if King James went straight to Bulls, Lakers or Celtics, how many championships would he be having? Lets the king enjoy the fruits of his labor. and if the finals were anything to go by, then we r in for an unbeatable Heat. Go King James, go heat

What about Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing and countless other great players that never won a ring? A champion ship is never guaranteeed no matter how great you are as a player, that's what makes it so special. Pretty Poor Return of Investment? ?? This guy sounds like Dan Gilbert. Gimme a break

Kobe, and MJ were so lucky to work with Phil Jackson, and other amazing players. We saw how Kobe and his team played w/o Phil Jackson. You haters will not stop talking!

I am so exhausted of comments of this nature. LeBron has won a Championship, Finals MVP and NBA MVP which places him among an elite group, and he knocked off serious competition to include the team that was believed to be the best in the league during the process. The NBA today could be considered somewhat different from the NBA of old; however, in many ways it is still the same, as there were big 2s and 3s, but during that era there was no foresight to call them big 2s and 3s since they were not paid, recruited or marketed that way. Many were seen as sidekicks or compliments to the actual stars. Please let King James have his moment and just watch the greatness as it continues to be revealed!

The Heat and Lebron have a title. That's the good news. The bad news is that it took 9 years, many millions of dollars and yards of column ink for King James to warrant the wearing of his crown. That's a pretty poor return on investment. The fact is a championship was massively overdue and the fact that he's finally got a ring must surely be a sense of relief more than celebration. To be fully vindicated Lebron has to be part of more title winning teams soon. Jordan earned his crown, Lebron succeeded to throne by process of elimination – the NBA needed a "face" in Kobe's declining years and Lebron's self-belief and huge potential made him the obvious choice. Sadly, he's yet to justify that huge confidence and, even after this win, needs to consolidate the victory to truly walk among the game's royalty.
