I'm not happy with the result, but I'll take it.

Miami Heat are World Champs.  I'm glad to see certain dudes on their team will get a ring, such as Mike Miller, and Shane Battier.

Lebron definitely learned his lesson from last year.  I guess it was just his time.  I'll give props where it's due.

With that said, the folks at Buzzfeed are at it again with these hilarious GIFs that break down the series.

NBA Madvillainy: The Miami Heat

In my recent posts about the NBA Playoffs, I've made mention of my ongoing disdain for the Miami Heat, so I felt it was necessary to delve deeper into what exactly it is that I don't like about this team. Then perhaps I might discuss exactly what I've grown to like and respect about this squad.

Let me start by pinpointing just what irks me about what has taken place in South Beach this season.

In Which Mike Miller Is Officially Inducted Into the P&B 'Player' Hall of Fame

Inspired by Ice-T's classic cut "M.V.P.S.", this will be a recurring post paying tribute to anyone that exemplifies a true Player, including but not limited to these attributes: dedication, leadership, drive, focus, or innovation.

Mike Miller is grit embodied. He's playing with a ruptured tendon in his right hand as the Heat are on the verge of eliminating the Bulls. He chipped in 9 points in the 4th quarter in game 4 and also grabbed 9 boards. Dude is tough as nails, like hockey player tough. In addition to what should be a season ending injury, his newborn daughter is in the hospital with an unspecified condition that may require surgery. Miller is going through some heavy emotional and physical pain, but continues to support his team. He says that what's happening to his daughter is putting his thumb injury in perspective.

Mr. Miller, your dedication to the Heat and fighting through major adversity makes you a Player.
