| | James´ triple-double lifts Miami Heat to title |  For all his personal success
and vaulted status, LeBron
James had long held an unrealized
dream, one that had
him surrounded by his teammates
in showers of confetti,
with both hands on the NBA
championship trophy.
After years of near misses,
James lived that dream on
Thursday as the Miami Heat
clinched a 4-1 series win in
the NBA finals by beating the
Oklahoma City Thunder 121-
106.
"You know, my dream has
become a reality now, and it´s
the best feeling I ever had,"
James said, after notching 26
points, 11 rebounds and 13
assists.
Ripped and ridiculed for
the way he announced he was
leaving Cleveland and taking
his talents to South Beach, it´s
all worth it now for James.
Best player in the game.

run against France today |  SPAIN needs to overcome its
France jinx on Saturday if it
wants to become the first
country to successfully
defend a European football
title.
The two teams clash in a
Euro 2012 quarter-final in the
Donbass Arena in Donetsk
and Spain has never beaten
France in the previous six
competitive meetings.
Spain is the overwhelming
favourites even though La
Roja looked far from impressive
in its final group C game
and needed a late goal from
substitute Jesus Navas to beat
Croatia and finish top of the
group ahead of Italy.
But while the whole
Spanish squad showed unity
afterwards, France had some
off-the-field antics again following
a 2-0 defeat against
Sweden - two years after its
infamous early exit amid inhouse
fighting at the World... | |
