Now, the critics started to get silent and the only thing they want to see if the Miami Heat and Lebron James will be able to sustain their winning form not just in the regular season but more significantly during Playoffs.
It has been said, that Lebron James is a quitter during playoff games and he was unsuccessful during his stint in Cleveland Cavaliers. But the reality is that, Lebron James is such a great warrior he led and transforms Cleveland Cavaliers into a real contender on his seven seasons in the team.
This time with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade together in one team, the Miami Heat is becoming a headache for other contenders especially in Boston and the defending champion Lakers.

Lebron James the 2 time NBA MVP!
Lebron James is highly considered as a complete player. His most potent skill in basketball was his scoring ability. He displayed no fear and shows some no mercy on the defenders. But what is more prolific in Lebron’s was his all around skills he doesn’t only score but he get rebounds, direct plays he played like a real point guard and sometimes better than a legitimate point guard. He is one of the best defender in the league and one of his extraordinary skills is his chasedown blockshot. He is the only player who did that consistently.
Lebron James, the two time Most Valuable Player in the NBA and a shoo-in in this year NBA MVP Award. His ability to make his teammates involved in the game and his leadership is simply unmatched. It is pretty obvious; once Lebron James keep going no one ever can guard or stop him. If you base on statistics, Lebron can score at 50 points a game if he wants to. But because of his willingness not to carry his team on his hand, Lebron was deliberately shared to his teammates and let them feel how to play and win a games.

He was proven now and then that he can lead the Miami Heat even with the absence of co superstars Dwane Wade and Chris Bosh. He has been doing brilliant and High IQ basketball as he delivers what is good for his team the Miami Heat.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat extends their winning streak to 3 as they beat Lebron’s former team Cleveland Cavaliers 117-90. It was a blowout win and a complete domination of the Heat as the Big 3 start redeeming their rhythm and threatening Eastern Conference leadership.
This time, Lebron James played more as a distributor and let his teammates involved especially D-Wade who benefited the most of Lebron’s unselfish plays. It was almost a perfect basketball for the Heat and slowly regaining that habit where they won 13 game winning streaks. It was pretty obvious those there still loopholes that need to improve and this has been proven when the Big 3 suffered an injury. It was really a wakeup call for everybody and this is what they are working right now where they make some initiatives and remedy to be able to be more competitive and get ready for real battle during playoff time.

After struggling and losing 4 consecutive games the longest in this season, Miami Heat and Lebron James is now on track again after winning back to back games against Detroit Pistons and latest against Kevin Durant lead Oklahoma Thunder.
It was pretty obvious that the Miami Heat needs their big 3 as they were struggled and beaten when one or two of their big three is not playing. On their game against New York Knicks last Wednesday, they were exposed in certain spot and that is in the paint which they really badly needed the presence of C-Bosh.
It was pretty obvious also, that once the two most prolific duo in transition Lebron James and Dwane Wade are not healthy the Miami Heat will become cold and badly beaten by any other team.
But what is more significant here is when Lebron is not playing. On Miami’s game specially those string of loses there is no doubt that Miami Heat is really looking for Lebron James to make things easier for the team to execute and get easy points that leads to winning a game.
Against Detroit Pistons, Lebron James displayed a notable performance as he led his team into a dramatic fashion. He led it emotionally and he let his teammates involved in the game. He is truly indeed, the Most Valuable Player in the NBA.

But the way it sounded, Lebron James will be topping anew the MVP award as there was no clear and precise choice of who will be the MVP in the Western Conference.
Lebron was very much affected at the start of the season, affected by all means. He was called a self proclaimed the ‘king’, a quitter and joined D-Wade and C-Bosh for an easy road to championship. His team struggling and keep on losing. But when they regroup and Lebron started to lead the Heat it was totally answered all doubts and criticism. They started winning, ruling and dominating every opposition.
Many have been thought that Lebron would not go to win an MVP as D-Wade is the man for the Miami Heat. But he proved it all critics wrong as he slowly occupying the top position not just in the Miami Heat but in the MVP derby as well. Lebron is now 3rd in the list for Kia MVP Award and it is still a long way to go as we are in the half way mark of the season.

This is because everybody wanted to have King Lebron on their team. Unfortunately, Miami Heat was the most fortunate team in the NBA by having Lebron joining them and become a championship contender on the spot.
With all the talks and expectations where at the very start was not happening, now those talks and expectations are fast becoming a reality. Lebron James and the Miami is now taken it slowly to dethrone the defending Eastern Conference Champion Boston Celtics and take the challenges of the emerging Chicago Bulls and the ever dangerous Orlando Magic.
What was the most exciting here is that, from the video itself all of them unanimously choose Boston Celtics to win the Eastern Conference title. It’s too early to tell but this will serve as a measurement for the Miami Heat success.
Lebron James the NBA Most Valuable player!
Why Lebron James called as a King? Why not Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade or even Michael Jordan? There’s a lot of players right who are considerably a franchise player and can lead their respective team and never quit to any challenges. Lebron James was already been criticize for being a quitter and can’t lead his team to promise land. But why he was named as a King?
If you were called a King who has the throne in your head, it’s not an easy job to perform. Everybody from your kingdom from the fans and to its players itself look up to you and praise for your greatness. Once you did something wrong on your decision, they will question you and maybe they will hate you for what you have done that affects your greatness.
But being a King, you should be always be ready for any crisis that you will be facing in the future and stand in your ground and let them feel that you are truly the King.
Lebron ‘King’ James, resemble what the real king is doing at least in the world of basketball and in sports in general. He was been criticize, hate and kick on his back after he announces his ‘decision’ leaving the Cavs for Miami Heat. But that doesn’t stop him in pursuing his goal not just by winning individual awards but winning the coveted NBA Larry O’Brien Championship trophy.
Lebron will always be Lebron and sooner or later people will start loving him back and look up to him for his greatness and brilliance on and off the court.
His decision is not a sin after all and he will continue proving it that what did is not for him but for the rest of the world. There’s only one reason why you are in competition and that is because you want to win and he see’s bigger and brighter opportunity in playing in Miami Heat to win what a player want to have and that is NBA Championship.
Lebron James will rise..you are truly the King in Basketball!
Miami Heat welcomes back Lebron ‘King’ James from left ankle injury but it was spoiled by a loss against an Eastern Conference contender Atlanta Hawks 93-89 in a thrilling overtime at American Airlines Arena.
They started slow in the first half as the Atlanta Hawks gaining grounds to post a double digit lead in the early goings in the first quarter 19-11. As the heat was not doing very well in the first quarter and they are struggling badly in the particular quarter. Atlanta had a double digit lead in the early going in the second quarter but the Miami Heat lead by Lebron James and Dwyane Wade made a run to tie the ball to 30 apiece. It was a low scoring ball game, and it’s definitely not a type of a game for the Miami Heat.
As Erik Spoelstra quoted: “We showed a lot of heart and toughness to stick in there, and keep on grinding away. We had a horrible start of the game offensively.”
The worse thing is that the Miami Heat had 16 turnovers and the Atlanta Hawks scored 25 points from Miami’s Heat turnovers. But it was because a low scoring ballgame, once that happen it would mean the Miami Heat had a terrible night and bound to lose.
It was a gallant showing of Lebron and DWade but it turns out not enough as the Atlanta Hawks made every shot they had. Lebron James was all out of the game as he scored 34 points and Dwane Wade had 27 points.
They were caught losing in the overtime and they miss crucial shots most specially the last one from Lebron as he tried to take a 3 to take the game away from Atlanta Hawks but unfortunately it bounced out.
It was Miami Heat longest losing streak of the season but bound to rediscover their rhythm and dominate again in the next games.
Lebron James will rule.
With all the critics focusing on Lebron’s showing on his new team the Miami Heat, many have been saying that it would be very hard for King James to capture his 3rd consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award because teaming up of D-Wade is just like giving up his chances of becoming the only player to win 3rd consecutive MVP award at his age.
But the way he’s been playing in the past few games (though he was injured in the last 2 games), you can really tell that Lebron James is definitely a strong contender for MVP in this 2010-2011 NBA Season. Base on the statistics right now, nobody can argue that he is on track to win the NBA MVP Award.
He is slowly taking some gear to be in the no. 1 list as he is now on the no.2 spot behind New York Knicks superstar Amare Stoudamire. But what is more recognizing is that he is leading the Heat into more respected and highly regarded as a big threat to Boston Celtics and to the defending Champion L.A. Lakers.
Lebron finally is getting into what he should be. Early of the season he was hampered with all the criticisms, humiliated and being question of being a quitter and an ambitious player with no care at all with his native land. With all of those insults and a slap of his face, he took it as a challenge for him and never gives up on his quest to regain what is to be given to him… and that is respect, trust and continues believing that he is truly a winner and fighter.
He elaborated on his ‘decision’ that he is not leaving in Cleveland because he doesn’t love the city at all. But what he wants from them is to be love and to be proud to him somebody and he promised but he will return in the city and share a piece of his success as a player including a championship in Miami.
