An Ode in Poem Form to LeBron, Game 7, and the NBA.




Three big cheers for LeBron,
whose dealings with Cleveland were wrong.
He couldn't win on his own,
and thus made Miami his home.
With two max players beside him,
the Heat are truly frightenin.
Unlike MJ, Kobe, Magic, Larry, and West,
LeBron decided to switch the logo on his chest.
He needed more help, he's no Rick Barry,
he needed his crab dribble, he needed to carry,
mostly he wanted Wade, to be his new daddy. 

With veterans coming to Miami from across the nation,
the Heat's roster depth was truly amazin.
Ray Allen, Mike Miller, Battier and Bird,
Helped get LeBald his 2nd ring, and Wade his third. 
Even though Bosh put up a goose egg in game 7,
the Heat still reached basketball heaven.
With Batti-flop hitting every 3,
and a late turnover from Ginobili,
in a game in which Duncan had no luck,
it was hard not to scream "fuck"! 

Seeing Danny Green miss all but one shot,
and the Spurs' season become all for naught,
was a sickening feeling, with which I was imbued; 
Parker had no lift, Splitter had no clue,
and as per usual, Neal knew not what to do. 
Manu the Great, did bounce back,
hitting 3s, dropping dimes, and going rack.
Kawhi Leonard showed great capacity,
rebounding, dunking, and defending with tenacity.
If a second competent big, the Spurs do obtain,
then next year they shall, end the King's reign.
As Wade grows older and Bosh's role doth diminish,
The Artifical Big 3 era, shall soon be finished.

My dear hoopheads, have no fear,
for all 3, can opt out after next year.
For LeBald a chance to go home and find redemption,
for Bosh a chance to be a star and get more attention.
What of the Birdman, without whom the Heat wouldn't have made the Finals,
will he be back in Miami, or return to his drug vials?

Around the league, more questions than answers,
will Dwight leave LA, or stay with Laker Girl dancers?
What of Chris Paul, the great overrated,
loved by fans, but by his teammates, hated. 
Will Ginobili retire or come back for one last run,
I hope the latter, the Spurs are so much fun.
Will Garnett be a Clipper, and bring Rivers with him,
or retire to Malibu, his fire now missin.

Regardless of what shall occur,
my views on the NBA shall not blur.
I hate the league, I hate the referees,
I honestly think there is bribery.
It is hard not to be a skeptic,
when two clear calls at the end of game 6 were neglected. 
That being said, my eyes wander not,
because nothing beats, a buzzer-beating jump shot.


SPURS IN 2014!!
