LeBron James is currently enjoying ‘the most pleased day’ of his life. If the image of him embracing the championship trophy in the American Airlines Arena on Thursday night (June 21) wasn’t sufficient to prove that, the contest MVP said the words out loud, after his team defeated the OKC Thunder 121-106 in NBA Finals game 5 to win the 2012 Championship. Miami dominated game 5 at home and by the fourth quarter it was pretty clear that this was their game. James, who was berated for the fanfare surrounding his controversial go to the Heat in 2010, had one very vital thing to say about the win: “It’s about damn time.” Twitter is flooded with reactions to the Heat’s victory, including plenty from the hip-hop community.
