King James finally crowned

These used to be the moments that suffocated LeBron James.

End of a game, the world watching, everyone expecting greatness. He’d take the court, and the ball — and the game — would find their way into his large hands. Too often, he’d give them both to a team-mate. The pressure, the responsibility to live up to his enormous talent, was too much for him to shoulder.

No longer is James haunted by his demons. He embraces these moments now, and as the final seconds ticked off the clock late on Thursday, James was finally free of the burden he had carried for so long. Finally, the world could call him an NBA champion.
