Spaldings Will Roll. By TIM DAVID HARVEY. Watch the throne, LeBron James took it last year and is sitting in it with all the kings men. Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Shane Battier and the rest of the Miami Heat soldiers battling to keep their NBA crown firmly on their heads and the shores of their South Beach talents for not one, not two, not three, but more years. There may be quests from the West and more beasts in the East, but down south looks to be the home of the spirit of Larry O'Brien for the next decade or dynasty. Whatever you want to call it. In this game of thrones, its LeBron James empire. Sure rocks may be thrown at the throne, like they where witnessed being hurled into billboards in Cleveland. Still even Cavalier efforts and blowout leads are burnt away by LeBron James like the embers of his number 23, wine and gold jersey. Now the champagne and the shine belongs to the number six of the Heat, as he looks to change the game like Julius, just what the good basketball doctor ordered. The man who put up Oscar Robertson numbers in his rookie game, is looking for Kobe and the other 23, M.J. figures in his veteran years. By the time his jersey is retired he'll be standing on the stilts of Wilt and Kareem giant numbers. 100 proof, this scoring machine and Earvin Johnson like all round playmaker is magic. Whether playing point, shooting, or running the small forward position with the bulk strength of a power player, this guy could run track. With quarterback, strength and vision his trademark, Thor strong hammer dunks almost look like touchdowns. Sorry Thunder, Oklahoma City may have to wait awhile for a championship. Same for you Carmelo and as for all of Kobe's men...right now they look to clipped to be a contending superstar team. Marvel at this, the NBA's leading avenger has formed Voltron and no Kryptonite could stop this superteam from D.C. to Gotham City. You'd straight have to take this guys head off to stop this Lord Of The Rings like that guy from THAT T.V. show. We aren't advising you do that though, besides critics have tried and failed. In the glow of the kings shining success (that doesn't sleep just like that preacher said) all the brands they try and force on him just meet hot water. With the chosen one forged on his back, a song of fire in his heart and ice in his veins, this warrior will still fight until his Jay-Z throne of the NBA is taken from him and with an Empire State Of Mind that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon. As the chalk is tossed in the air before the ball even does the same, the tip belongs to the crown of the King. When the chalk goes up, the opponents become dust. You don't even have to wait for the final horn. So saddle up the horses because it's time for battle. The war of the playoffs are on the horizon and you can bet the finals chapter of the 2012/2013 NBA season will belong to the story of MVP. Nobody looks to touch the robe, especially with an army of talent around him who refuse to ride his coat-tails. Like the would be king Wade or the beast that is Bosh. If that big three wasn't enough then there's Battier defending the throne or Mike Miller's bows and Ray Allen shooting Hawkeye arrows like a ray-gun. All of Spo's men, look slicker then Pat Riley's hair. The king isn't afraid to take off his jewels and get down to battling either, not resting on his laurels. Leading his team into battle and fighting through it all like he was still being treated like a pauper. Now THAT is the deciding factor to why this man is the king. For every Bruce Springsteen there is an Elvis Presley, and for every Michael Jordan there is a LeBron James. This is the American dream and LeBron is lining it without the televised reality show. This is as real as it gets. The lion is uncaged and enraged but regal, awaiting his royal appointment with the crown jewel. The palace that LeBron rebuilt is a fortress and it's going to take a nation of millions to hold back the former public enemy number one. No feast for crows or dance for dragons here. A storm of swords or the winds of winter against the South Beach Heat could not clash with this kings dream of spring. In the church of the wild and in this castle there doesn't look to be a death of a dynasty anytime soon. Long live the king.

A rough outing for Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh. Chris Paul and Tony Parker decided to have some fun at the expense Bosh at 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Bosh finished with 6 points in the starting role including to air balls and two nutmegs.

Inside Purple 2012-13 GM48- So the Miami Heat came into Toronto ready to win and watch the Superbowl. They were far from suffering a championship hang over and "the big 3" jumped on the Raptors early and didn't look back. What happened to the Raptors was their lack of interior defense and their point guard play was less then mediocre. Rudy Gay once again became the lone bright spot. There might be an issue to address between the minutes being distributed to both Terrence Ross & Alan Anderson.

We are witnessing the change of the Guard. The NBA has nnounced the reserves for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston, Texas. Six of the 14 players were first-time selections, including high-scoring James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Five of those six were in the Eastern Conference, as the West features a much more experienced team led by 14-time All-Star Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs. While there weren't any major surprises, the Brooklyn Nets have no representatives despite the third-best record in the East. The sixth-place Denver Nuggets are the best team in the Western Conference without an All-Star.

Here's are great look at the 10 worst NBA teams since 2000. According to the folks who put this together their criteria included: "What criteria mattered? Playoff success, obviously. And incompetency in the front office, too." 4. Toronto Raptors – Last won a playoff series in 2001 (2nd longest drought in the NBA). But at least they’ve been to the playoffs recently (2007, 2008). Guess they miss Chris Bosh, huh? 1. New York Knicks – Last playoff series win? That came all the way back in the 1999-2000. Longest drought in the NBA. Let it sink in: the Knicks have gone 12 years without winning a playoff series.

Like LeBron, Chris Bosh catches a lot of hate. Toronto Raptors fans specially, they treat the kid like he didnt put in work for seven strong years. It's good to see the kid who repped Toronto the hardest (Before Drake of course) get his ring. Congrats Chris Bosh!

This has to be the funniest champagne celebration of all-time? Can't stop laughing. Talk about drowing yourself in champeezee!

Long live the King. Death to the LeChoke jokes. LeBron James has officially been crowned! "Write it how you want it, all I know is I am a Champion" said James during his post conference speech. The decision is final: LeBron James made the right call coming to Miami. Finally an NBA champion, it's all worth it now. James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, and got the kind of help that was worth leaving home for, leading the Heat in a 121-106 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals in five games. Best player in the game, best team in the league.

The real MVP. Kevin Durant put down this impressive one hander on the miami heat.

LeBron James is getting used to this Finals thing. James will have his third opportunity to capture the his elusive first NBA Championship. Year Two of the "Big Three" era in Miami has the Heat competing for the National Basketball Association (NBA) title for a second consecutive year.
