2012-2013 NBA Champions:

yawn yawn yawn

LeBron is 28

I predict he'll win at least 5. He's the best player in the league and it isn't close. Let me know when this decline starts happening.

-King- · 06-03-2013, 10:12 PM

Funny thing is, when he was with the Cavs and even earlier in this series it was "He can't win by himself!" and now suddenly he can

.

The Heat are in for a big rebuild. Every major player on the team other than LeBron will need to be replaced in a year or two.

My best bet is he will win it somewhere else.

LeBron can go wherever the **** he wants in 2014.

He's a freak of nature. One of a kind. Has he EVER been injured?

You're a joke.

LeBron is getting at least 5, and all in a row.

He may get 8 or 9. He's the best player since Jordan...if not better than Jordan.

And I'm a Jordan diehard.

LeBron has rolled over cakewalk Eastern Conference competition. I thought he played the best series of his career against Indiana and a good defender in George, so it's not a commentary on him. It's his supporting cast which was terrible against the Bulls and the Pacers.

Every year, he's going to face a tough Western Conference team that is much tougher than any team he played in the playoffs. This year is no exception.

I don't think he'll leave Miami. I don't think he wants to have to rebuild his image again if he leaves them. And plus Miami can give him more money, one more year, and there's no income tax. He's re-signing with them in 2014.

You think the Heat can beat the Spurs with just LeBron and nothing else like they did with the Pacers? It won't happen. He needs help to win championships, everyone does.

Yeah, I'm quite sure he'll be gone if Wade and Bosh keep trending this way. Off to somewhere with younger secondary stars.

He wants championships more than anything else. If he can't get them in Miami, he'll go somewhere where he can get them.

The only thing I see derailing LeBron doing that is Durant hitting age 28. I predict that is when he gets his first championship. Thats about the age they starting winning them - Jordan, Bird, Shaq, LeBron, etc.

The Heat didn't exactly roll against a really weak Eastern Conference.

The Western Conference is at least good enough to make every championship very difficult to win.

That's my point. I was making fun of Hootie's "He can win by himself" stance.

They were 8-1 in the first two rounds. They didnt roll at all.

The Bucks don't count. They might as well have played the Tampa Bay Bucs.
The Bulls were missing 3 of their starters, including their MVP calibre guy. And yet, they didn't really dominate that series

The Pacers were a good team. But compared to the Western Conference, they're probably not very good

I am not a LeBron fan. But I admit he played an excellent playoff series. But the Heat as a whole have NOT been very good, except for in flashes. Against real competition, if they played the way they did against Chicago and against Indy, things would have gotten a whole lot more interesting.

Miami wins Game 7 by double digits.

My periodic "The sun shines on a dog's ass," prediction.
