LeBron James won't nab his three-peat this year. Boo to the hoo.
The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. And so King James will have to settle for second place.

Yes, James is the most talented player currently in the NBA, but his move to Miami announced via dramatic television special in 2010 earned him a villain's reputation. Ever since then, despite the fact that James has been on his best behavior in Miami, the most talented player in the NBA has also been the most criticized, a fact he himself acknowledged after the first game of the Finals.
So now, in the aftermath of the dethroning of the King, we can only look at LeBron's saddest faces and say "there's always next year, Miami."
