LeBron James CAN handle the heat (pun honestly not intended)

You have all heard the Lebron james jokes after Miami Heats loss in the finals to the Dallas Mavericks last season, but let me indulge you with the most common one:
                   Why shouldn't you ask LeBron for change for a dollar?
                   Because he'll only give you 3 quarters!



Lebron James is a huge figure in America, he is one of the best athletes in any sport, unbelievably powerful, quick and can play anywhere (and in anything) but is probably the subject of more ridicule and scorn than any other player when he stuffs up, certainly in the NBA. Though probably not as hated as it would seem, he has brought some of this on himself.  Seriously a show to announce where he was drafting to without letting the teams now beforehand? He's made himself a prime-time commodity, whoever thought that was a good move must've been having an off day or been on way to being fired anyway. He also has an arrogance.  But is that uncommon in high-profile sportspeople? Thought not.

But after passing off a crucial shot in the east-west conference game it is again being discussed that he doesn't have heat when the pressure is on.  Miami to make the finals again, although the Miami team could use better backup to its main stars, write them and Lebron off at your peril.

Lebron zinger-"All the people that were rooting me on to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before. They have the same personal problems they had to today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy that not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they’ll have to get back to the real world at some point"- Ouch! Ultimately he has achieved alot even with athletic luck he has worked hard to get there, he's a winner and he's not concerned about other people trying to hate on him, props to him his mistakes were over-hyped anyway.
