Agreed, but if your point is that the results of this NBA finals is not indicative of the Heat's potential for future championships, all I can do is point to Lebron's failures in past playoffs as well.

More than that, nobody on his team looked like they wanted the ball in the 4th quarter of game six. His response was not to take control, but to throw up wild 3-pointers. Not the way a winner plays.

His talents make a big difference in the regular season, but in the playoffs, will > skill, and he has yet to show he has that will. Doesn't mean he'll never get it. But as of now, he has been tested several times and found wanting.

Like the Sedin twins in the Stanley cup, regular season success and skill doesn't translate into a championship if the other guys are willing to smack you in the mouth (figuratively in basketball, literally in hockey), and dare you to respond.

With Lebron and the heat, we'll see.
