While we’ve just come out from the NBA Finals Game 7, the last 30 seconds of Game 6 were definitive. They almost seemed a moment of collapse, where a once celebrated hero would be doomed to face the disdain of an entire nation, forever calling to question his abilities as a champion as underlined by his inability to finish the job. Surely, LeBron James thought about none of that as he recovered a ball to hit the jumper that propelled the Miami Heat into an overtime victory in Game 6. He’s the type of person to create his own moments, on his own time, no matter the criticism. As the season comes to a close and ‘King James’ now rests comfortably in his throne, Nike Basketball reminds us that for now, there’s nothing we can say to LeBron – we’ll just have to settle for a message. Enjoy the instant classic above.
