LeBron James on the verge of salvation; Hoping to be a third time lucky – NBA Update
With the memories of a dejected LeBron James after losing the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks still fresh in our minds, the King has put himself on the cusp of being coroneted once again.
LeBron has played like a man possessed all through the playoffs and come Thursday night, a win is all that stands between him and the only feather missing in his cap – the NBA Championship.
The star forward is desperately hoping to be a third time lucky;
"This is my third crack at it," said James who is in his ninth season in the NBA. “First of all, I'm blessed because a lot of people never go to the finals. Second of all, if they go, they never go back. And this is my third opportunity.”
James has been incredible in the postseason and unlike the previous two occasions; he is being more and more aggressive, making one defining play after another. Moreover, he is no longer a crunch time choker, and his triple deep
in to the Game 4, while he was cramping, might just be remembered as the signature move of this NBA Finals series.
After 8 years of underachievement, the King is giving it all to cross the last stumbling block in his path to be the greatest basketball player of his generation;
"So I'm just trying to make the most of it. And like I said, win, lose or draw, I'm giving my all, and I'm going to be happy. I'll be satisfied with that."
Miami are currently leading the Oklahoma City Thunder 3-1 and with the Game 5 scheduled to take place at the American Airlines Arena, the Heat hold all the aces in their hand.
However, for James and the Heat, it ain’t over just yet.
"My job is not done," James said. "I have been very focussed and I am determined for us to play at a high level."
OKC have their work cut out as no team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals. From being aggressive to upping the ante in the clutch, they have tried everything against Heat in the Finals, but LeBron and his
men have always found a way out, and come Thursday night the Heat might just silence the Thunder for one last time this season.
