The NBA Finals are here and what a better storyline than the one we are witnessing. The underdog Miami Heat facing early NBA bubble favorite Los Angeles Lakers.
Tonight LeBron James squares off (9pm ET) against former head coach Erik Spoelstra, and the team that he brought back-to-back championships home with. Which arguably engraved him to be one of the greatest to play the game.
This championship series already has early favorites as fans all over believe the Lakers are going to beat the Heat in under 6 games.
But since the playoffs the Miami Heat have beaten NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the no. 1 seed Milwaukee Bucks and most recent victory against Boston Celtics 4-2.
Jimmy Butler has definitely shown his leadership, discipline and chemistry with this young talented Miami Heat core. Averaging a little over 20ppg. in the bubble shows that he is not required to constantly put up high scoring numbers for the squad to gel as a whole and get wins.
As King James is on the hunt for his fourth-ring, Jimmy buckets is hungry and on the prowl for his first. The battle starts tonight @9pm ET when the Miami Heat face off against the Los Angeles Lakers on ABC.
