LeBron James steers Heat to NBA title

"I'm LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from the inner city. I'm not even supposed to be here… It doesn't matter what anybody else says about me. I ain't got no worries."

The greatest basketball player in the world can now begin to build a solid case to be considered the greatest of all time.

A trophy in each arm, LeBron James stood at the centre of the American Airlines Arena after the Miami Heat's exhilarating Game Seven 95-88 victory over the San Antonio Spurs last night and revelled in the ticker tape and the retention of the NBA title.
