Miami Heat: Why Does LeBron Still Refuse To Acknowledge Time Here?

The Miami Heat are never given the credit they deserve. That goes double when talking about the way LeBron does them.

From The Beginning

Let’s start with the 2012 Finals. Miami won that series in five against the Oklahoma City Thunder but getting to that point wasn’t easy for Miami.

In their second-round matchup against the Indiana Pacers, Chris Bosh went down in Game 1. Miami would win that game but by the time Game 4 happened, Miami was down 2-1 plus with Dwyane Wade struggling.

Let’s not forget that he got into an altercation with Head Coach, Erik Spoelstra, that the national media picked up on and made into a huge story. Wade and James figured it out enough to come back and win the series with Wade scoring 41 points to James 28 points.

Thought that was easy?

In the next round, Miami was set to go against their rival, the Boston Celtics, which Miami took a 2-0 lead to start the series. But Miami was to lose the next three games straight.

Even with Bosh returning in Game 5, it still wasn’t good enough for Miami. With Game 6 on the road in Boston, James played one of the best games I have ever seen him play.

James had everything on the line, his own personal greatness, Miami’s blueprint was on the line, and the National media wanted Miami to fail. James’s stat line consisted of 45 points and 15 rebounds.
