Music blared and confetti fell, the only celebration LeBron James really wanted in Miami.
Not
that one two summers ago, the welcoming rally where he boasted of
multiple titles, perhaps without realizing how hard it would be to win
just one.
He dreamed of this moment, with teammates surrounding him and the NBA championship trophy beside him.
"You know, my dream has become a reality now, and it's the best feeling I ever had," James said.
James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Miami Heat in a 121-106 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals in five games.
Ripped
and ridiculed for the way he announced he was leaving Cleveland and
taking his talents to South Beach, it's all worth it now for James.
Best player in the game. Best team in the league.
And now, NBA champion.
"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," James said. "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."
