"King Dirk"

There are only two "King James" that I'm aware of: The king of England from 1603-1625 and the English translation of the Bible that he commissioned.

Dirk Nowitzki just did in Dallas what Lebron has never been able to accomplish in Cleveland: Win it all with "one great player." Not only was Lebron unable to win in Cleveland, but he also couldn't win in Miami with one of the most impressive "supporting casts" ever assembled. Perhaps his move to Miami has shown that he isn't as great as everyone previously supposed.

Even if Miami had won both of these games at home, the story wouldn't be about "King James," rather it would have been "King Dwyane." If anyone has proven himself to be a leader and a talented player regardless of the game situation, it's Dwyane Wade.

Congratulations MVP Dirk and the Dallas Mavericks on your hard-fought, well-deserved NBA Championship!
