For the last time before his retirement. Commissioner David Stern hands the Larry O’Brien trophy over to the back-to-back champion Miami Heat who beat the Spurs in a thrilling 7-game series. Led by Finals MVP LeBron James who was presented with the trophy by the legend himself, Bill Russell.
“For me, I can’t worry about what everybody says about me. I’m LeBron James, from Akron, Ohio. From the inner city. I’m not even supposed to be here. That’s enough, said James. Every night I walk into the locker room, I see a No. 6 with James on the back. I’m blessed. So what everybody say about me off the court don’t matter. I ain’t got no worries.”
What a truly amazing series.
