This is what everyone has wanted! From the start of the shortened NBA season there have been two stars that night in and night out have been at the top of the sport and they are going head to head in the NBA Finals. In one corner you have the younger more publicly like Kevin Durant who might very well go down as the purest scorer in NBA history. His road to the finals has been one of loyalty and respect to the game and is very well deserved. The other is one of the most hated athletes in the entire world. He is by far the best player on the planet and has gone through so much criticism about his game, him not being able to close, or him going to Miami to chase the elusive title so many great NBA players can't get. The difference between both Lebron and Kevin is Lebron has had this pressure since day one and is in the process of turning in one of the greatest postseasons in recent memory. The man can will a team to win as he did in Game 6 against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. While his skill set may be getting better (if thats possible) he is maturing right before our eyes the once "look at me" attitude he carried has turned into anything I can do to help the team win. Lebron has had to overcome far more obstacles than Kevin Durant and I ultimately believe this is going to be the X factor and why the heat will win the finals this year. LBJ has set his sights at 16 wins he has 12 and need just 4 more to raise that gold trophy high and solidify his legacy as one of the greats to ever play the game. But he must get by a young man who is trying to prove you can win on any team and you don't need to leave for more money to be a winner. I don't care who wins I want Lebron to get his ring but it's going to be an amazing finals one that basketball so desperately needed.
