Back2Back

The Miami Heat have won back to back NBA titles and I couldn't be happier for LeBron  James. I have followed this young man since high school and am a big supporter of him. He loves playing basketball and as great as is, he's always working on his game in his quest to be the best NBA player of all time. He certainly is unique in that he can play and guard every position skillfully and effectively.

I have yet to understand the vitriol towards this young man and the common reason of his haters is "The Decision" production when he departed Cleveland in 2010. Even if that was a blunder on LeBron's part, is the man not entitled to make a mistake? How soon we forget the rash decisions and foolish mistakes we made in our youth but are so quick to cast a stone at LeBron. 

I think he has carried himself well since entering the NBA and has had no off-court issues but has given back to the community and reached out to at-risk youth. He's been a father to his sons and  now is about to marry their mother. 

He is the face of the league and is personable, likable and knowledgeable of the history of his sport. He has put in the time and hard work to bring him to where he is in solidifying his place in the annals of the game. 

Congratulations, LeBron on winning your 4th league MVP, 2nd NBA championship and  2nd MVP of the NBA  Finals. Keep doing what you do best and ignore the rest.
