LeBron & Wade Shine as Miami Heat Take Control of the Series »

The Miami Heat defeated the Indiana Pacers 115-83 Tuesday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at American Airlines Arena. After a monstrous Game 4, LeBron James put on an encore performance in a crucial home victory with 30 points (12-for-19), 10 rebounds and eight assists. If you’re Indiana, you just have to shake your head when LeBron and Dwyane Wade get into that kind of telekinetic rhythm. The halftime buzzer-beater feed from Wade? The falling-out-of-bounds, one-handed rope to Wade? The football pass to LeBron on the fly? Just unfair. Maybe it wasn’t 40-18-9, but LeBron reminded us that no one consistently puts on a better show than him. Following the debut of Black and Gold LeBron 9′s in Game 4, James introduced the Home colorway – White and Gold – last night.

James & Wade Carry Heat to Tie the Series. LeBron With Away 9′s. »

Unstoppable. That’s the only word to describe LeBron in this game. Down 2-1 in the series, LeBron put his team on his back and tried to win the game by himself through halftime, then Dwyane Wade joined the effort thereafter. LeBron scored or assisted on every one of the Heat’s points in the first quarter and he never let up on the gas after that. He put up video game numbers with 40 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists, two blocks, and two steals. The game really didn’t start their way, though. LeBron wore the Black and Gold version of the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite, which was not a good sign. Initially, it was said that the regular Aways with Gold in it could only be worn in the NBA Finals.

Pacers Handle Miami Heat First Home Loss in 2012 NBA Playoffs »

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Miami Heat 78-75 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, tying the series at 1. The Pacers had four players score in double-figures, led by forward David West’s 16 points and 10 rebounds. Guard George Hill added 15 points while Danny Granger contributed 10 and Paul George 10. Heat forward LeBron James led all scorers with 28 points and Dwyane Wade finished with 24, but it wasn’t enough. Miami was playing without forward Chris Bosh (stomach), and received little help from the supporting cast. LeBron was running on fumes by the end and missed two key free throws that could have changed the course of the game. “The game is not lost or won with two free throws. But I definitely want to come through for my teammates. So I’ll get an opportunity again. I know I’ll be at the line again in that situation. Just go up and make ‘em.”

Miami Takes Series Opener. LeBron Wears New MVP Shoes. »

LeBron James got his trophy, and then he and Dwyane Wade made sure the Miami Heat got a win in Game 1. James scored 32 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in his first game as a three-time MVP, Wade finished with 29 despite struggling from the floor, and the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 95-86 to open their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Sunday. King James wore his new “Most Valuable Player” shoes from Nike Basketball that were unveiled shortly after he received the award. LeBron got a Player Exclusive version with gold MVP plate on the back of the shoe. He switched back to the Playoff version for the second half, though.

Miami Heat Close out New York Knicks in 5 Games »

LeBron James had 29 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists – all team highs – in the Miami Heat’s series-clinching win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. It was the 20th time in his pro career that James led his team outright in points, rebounds and assists in a playoff game. That’s by far the highest such total for any player in NBA history. In fact, the only other players who did that in at least 10 games are Larry Bird (13) and Tim Duncan (11). The end result succinctly summed up the difference between LeBron and Carmelo Anthony. While James was busy facilitating for teammates, Anthony put on the blinders and kept hunting for his own shot. They both put up big scoring numbers, but LeBron made sure he got his teammates involved in the process while eating up only 15 field goal attempts. King James was “forced” to wear his Miami Heat Home Player Exclusive shoes from Game Two.

Closer Look at Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite – Game Four Away PE »

While it was obvious that LeBron James will be forced to wear personalized Miami Heat sneakers in the Playoffs, it wasn’t obvious that he will wear a different shoe each night. In four games that’s been played in Round One, LeBron wore four different Player Exclusive styles of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite. Two for Home games, and two for Away. He probably will finally re-use one of the Homes in Game 5, but anything is possible at this point. James’ Game Four PE features a predominantly Black upper with Red laces, Red swoosh and Red signature logos. Also, there’s an additional, digitalized #6 logo on the medial side of the shoe. Continue reading for all Playoffs PEs. Which one is your favorite?
