LeBron finally getting a ring. Long, long journey.

OKC though, just pissed it away & Miami spanked them for it.

Happy LeBron finally got his ring - haters are super mad right now.

Man seeing Durant cry makes me feel super bad for him.

He's the next big thing for sure - glad he's gonna be repping team USA in the Olympics.

Congrats, Heat. Totally deserved it this year, even if I didn't think the east could put up with the west. Hopefully everyone can shut up about Lebron and realize that we're witnessing one of the greatest to ever play. If things go as they are right now, he'll be the first player in NBA history to get regular season MVP, Finals MVP, the NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal in the same year.

Been a crazy year. With the Celtics "overachieving", Rose's body betraying him, Linsanity, Durant's 5 or 6 game winners against Dallas alone (), a 20-game winning streak by the Spurs, the worst win-loss record in NBA history from the Bobcats .. List goes on.

I'm so happy to see all the OKC fans on Facebook eating those stupid ass pictures of "No one ever come back from a 3-1 series. Thunder, Time to Make History". Still had tonight & 2 other games to play morons.

If the cops come and give me a citation for disturbance, it's all good. It's all good. My love of the LeHeat must be shared. The entire neighborhood must know.

Spo...really? This is more gratifying? You have the LeBron, LeWade, and LeUgly and this is MORE gratifying???

They didn't need to try to win this Title. They could've won with their eyes closed.

Now coach Spo should get the respect he should get, even he got more of the criticism than he should have.

So in the offsrason the Heat will need to resign a new bench pretty much. Juwan Howard, eddy curry, Mike Miller are probably gone. Pittman should go back to d league and elbow people there. I don't think turiaf is going to be here. We will see.

Don't forget how we started. CP3 becoming a Laker, the small market owners either crying or running scared, and David Stern pulling the commish/owner card and denying what would have been the slickest move of the season.

I'm glad Miami won and not the Michael Jordans or Dan Gilberts of the world. You think Jordan wanted to see Kobe get another title?

Even OKC's a little shady how the got the franchise. Good for OKC, but really sad for Seattle.

I don't see the Heat repeating next year. I knew they'd win this year especially once Rose went out. I had the finals as they were and the Heat winning and OKC winning next year. Rose will never win a championship unless the the core of the Heat and OKC disbands.

The KING has been crowned. But what a amazing well balanced game from the entire HEAT! This honestly IMO was the best TEAM B~Ball game played by the HEAT this year, PERIOD! Everyone seem to have a say so in ending the series in MIAMI. And what a way and fashion to all come together at one time where it meant EVERYTHING!

KD and company will likely be back in the show next year and it looks like this has the makings of a championship rivalry (a la Celtics-Lakers circa 80s).

As a Knicks fan, I will always hate on the Heat but congratulations to the Heat and Pat Riley nonetheless. The decision to take his talents to South Beach was clearly justified last night......although, I don't anticipate a dynasty.

On the periphery, I'm eager to see what Cavs fans think about this development....and I know Sonics fans are happy for the moment.

IMO, to get respect, you have to give respect. The Mavs didn't have the best sportsmanship IMO.

OKC were gentleman all the way around and if and when they make it back to the playoffs (assuming they aren't going against the heat again )...I would have absolutely NO problem rooting for them. Classy, classy team.

Tru story...as I can remember last yr the DALLAS was jumping on the HATRED band wagon and talking alot of shyt thru the series...Especially, JET! So, that deserved a FU & a WALK OFF!

And I for one root for OKC...when they play everyone else besides the HEAT...lol ~ same goes for the Bulls.
